Well thank God it's Friday seemed like a long week.I did have a couple of good days this week went shopping for Christmas.Can't wait till the holidays are over.Trying to figure out if I should buy Justins his presents that I buy every year.I always buy him boxers and socks he always said he couldn't wait tell Christmas so he could get his new underwear and socks he never would buy them he always waited tell Christmas.I'm going to miss my chocalate covered cherries he would get me every year.I think its the little things I'm going to miss.It's never going to be the same.I'm a different person now since Justin's has died.I know I get scared to death when my daughter Ashli goes out I always think the worst.I'm suppose to get Braden, my grandson this weekend but haven't heard from his mom yet I left a message.My exhusband bought a blue spruce when Justin died left it for me at the cematary we planted it in our backyard so when you look out the window you can see it.I went out there Wednesday and put red christmas balls on it.I try to do as much as I can to try and include him for Christmas even though he's gone I think I do it for me cause it makes me feel good.I bought 2 snowmen and went and put them on Justin's headstone.It's all I can do He's always on my mind it still hurts and that will probably never go away.No matter how hard I try to accept it.I do know I still feel the pain in my heart this has taken a toll on me I look 10 years older than I did 8 months ago.I'm so glad I have such caring,wonderful,loving people from DS.I hope you all never ever forget me in your prayers I need many right now.Hope everyone has a good weekend.Thank you all for listening to me you all are wonderful people.jfm24,vicki

I admire the way you try to include Justin in your Christmas celebration. It\'s a very nice way to honor him. Losing our children has taken a toll on us all. I know I look different now than just a few months ago and definitely have lost my spark. We are all in this together, dear. I\'ve said more prayers for people in the past 2 months than I have in the past 10 years and will continue to do so. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Adrianne

Vicki,
We do miss those little things from our children and no life will never be the same.I am trying to get out of my funk be getting out of the house more but I am not brave enough to go to the mall. It will be gift cards and checks this year. I didn\'t do cards last year and may not again this year. hugs, Inga

That is so wonderful that you have that spruce tree in Justin\'s memory and I am so glad you decorated it-that was a really nice thing for your ex-husband to do! WHy don\'t you buy the cherries yourself-Justin would want you to have them! You are always in my thoughts and prayers!God bless. :0)
