December 24th 4 Years

As many of you here knows Christmas Eve will be 4 years since Josh's accident.  I can't believe it has already been 4 years.  Where has the time gone.  The only thing I can say is I am surviving.  I no longer like this time of the year.  It is supposed to be the happiest time of the and instead it is the worst.  How do you enjoy Christmas shopping, wrapping gifts and family time when you know the biggest part of heart is missing and will be forever more.  Just know that I love each of you and thank you for understanding and being there for me.
I love you Joshie Pooh.

I so know what you mean. It was 4 years in May for Billy & I never thought I would make it this far. Please be extra kind to yourself & try & have a gentle Christmas. Wishing you peace in all your precious memories of Josh - hold them so very close to your heart & remember no one can take them from you. Hugs, Ann

I cannot imagine going through this at Christmas. It has also been 4 years since we lost Mitchell also, I believe you simply learn what works to get you through the day, simply surviving the day. Take extre good care of yourself during this time, and remember we are all lhere for you, With Much Love, Charlene

Rhonda, It has been 4 years that I lost my son \"Warren\". We have traveled this rollercoaster ride together. Sending you prayers for comfort to get through the next couple of weeks. There is no answers on how to get through these trying times. Just make sure you take some time for yourself and allow yourself to feel your emotions (happy and sad) no matter what anyone says. Unless you have walked this road no one has the right to tell you how to act. I will be sending you strength to walk though the next days ahead. Love Sharlene

Ed and I were just talking about how hard this time of year is for all of us, but especially for you and John. Please know that we are holding you close to our hearts. Love, Sandy and Ed

Ditto to all of the above, Rhonda. Nobody enjoys this (joyous, yeah right) time of the year anymore because of all the memories. But it has to be especially hard for you and all the other families who have lost their children during this time. A double whammie. But we are the strongest people in the world, bar none when it comes to surviving. Tight hugs to you, Debbie

Rhonda, I send you prayers and hugs during this holiday season. I know it is rough. I lost my son on the Saturday before Thanksgiving and while we may try to get through these holidays intact, one thing is on our mind and that is to just get through them and get to the new year and spring. Hugs, Belinda
