I wanted to respond to each journal written within the past couple of days but just couldn't say anything - I hate holidays....the dreaded Mother's Day is coming up and how many times can I say "I HATE HOLIDAYS" - Just seems like every emotion is flooding my heart - I can barely work - nothing matters today.....

I so understand. Praying you find some moments of peace today. Tight hugs and love, Paula
Sending loving care with laser like precision right into your mother\'s heart today.
Just keep breathing through this dearest Vicki as you are and know that even though nothing in this moment matters... YOU matter and how you feel matters...
Much, much love and a sister of the heart (((hug))) to cradle you.

No need to respond Vicki. I think all of us have mixed feelings, if not hate when it comes to holidays. I am grateful for the memories but angry because we can\'t make new ones.
Love and tight hugs,
Marlene
So understand. And, as I am trying my best to remind myself, breathe...
(((hugs)))

Thank you for caring - for being there - and reminding me to BREATHE. ((hugs))Vicki
I am taking it slow as well. I do plan on putting up a Christmas tree this year, but when the time comes I will know. We have home videos, Cassi, her first Easter, in her little carrier, devouring a chocolate bunny and making a huge mess...her second Easter when I packed a princess pink basket with everything I could find I wanted her to have...all the way till recently, when I would give her some kind of basket or container wrapped up with shower gels, her favorite products, soma candy, chapstick and hand sanitizers...I want her back.
I am sorry. It sounds like a beach day is in order...get busy. I gave out flowers at church on the first Mother\'s Day. It was obedience. I was not really there...just in body. I am lifting you up..Lauri
Yes, holidays just rub salt into the wound. I\'m so sorry - hope the days ahead get a little easier for you. Take good care of yourself ~ Joanna x
you are not alone in hating holidays.........hugs
A tight hug from my heart to yours...
I understand Mike died 5 days before Christmas so you know holidays really suck. I have grand kids they make me try to do holidays, it works.
Hoping once you get over the special days next year will hurt just a pintch less.
Tight hugs Penny
