i found this on a website and thought it said it all for how i feel this christmas...
The First Christmas
C is for the Crying that seems to fill each day,
H is for the Heartache that never goes away,
R is for the Reaching out into empty space,
I is for the Instant pain each time I see her face,
S is for the Sadness, that too is always near,
T is for the Torment now that shes not here,
M is for Malignant hurt, relentless in its stand,
A, that sense of Abandonment when others dont understand,
S is for Sardonic, my description of this season,
But this is all I know right now and with very good reason,
You see I miss my little girl, called by God at birth,
Had he left her just a little while,
This Christmas would have been her first.

Thanks for sharing this poem. This is a very touching, so true to my heart. And unfortunately, this poem will speak true for very many people. This would have been our first Christmas as a family....there are so many what ifs and what could have beens. Thanks for letting me know that I am not alone.

I would only have 2 months left in my pregnancy had Dot not passed away. It would've been her first Christmas, but she would've still been inside me growing where it was safe and warm. I bought her a small tree and decorated it with mini ornaments and I plan to place it at her gravesite this week. I did also buy her a Baby's first Christmas stocking to put up with my DH, mine, and the cat's stocking. The poem is beautiful.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
