How does anyone celebrate Xmas? My last Xmas was in 1987.My sainted father died on sunday 11/1/1987 and it hasnt been the same.What does Christmas really mean? to you the truth..i dont really know.All I do know is sometimes it is getting to commerical.They had Xmas stuff out by the last day of October.My late father hated the way that Christmas has become.But he like me always sent a Christmas card.I send out 1,000 cards last year and have got no reply so I assume that noone is really interested.I will say this is that I miss Frank and I miss my house..but I realize that this was done for a reason.Everything in life happens for a reason,my therapist told me and someday I will know why.But I am so grateful that I live in seattle now and I have got 3 cats and a little home but sometimes a home can be a nightmare..Losing Frank has changed my life.Brothers..please be nice to your sister.Do not hit or slap her.Do not yell at her.You see..there will be a time in your life when you will be called to the Man of The House.Brothers dont like to accept this..but when this happens they have to be like Jim Anderson of Father Knows Best.You have got to give your mother and sister support.So remember do not get jealous or hate her boyfriend..If you dont like him..you are probably right but she has to find out if he is a jerk.And brothers..always repect your grandmother like Frank did.ALways try to take her out.Frank took grandma out once a week for a hamburger..you do the same way.And listen to grandmas advice..why? Because she is usually right!
