Tis The Season
Strange how the Holiday season still brings back all those wonderful memories of childhood and married life celebrations. We always made such a big deal for the joyous and were so giving to the needy. My ex had such a big heart, was so very generous and unselfish. That's what I miss, not the morphing into someone I didn't recognize. I do not miss her anymore, just the thought of her - fourteen years married, seventeen together - Whew, how so very fast that time passed. I will celebrate with my loving family this year and will give thanks to have known her and very thankful that I experienced true, deep love. I am no longer lonely but do long for the sweet, *special* connection with another. Hope all my virtual friends have a wonderful holiday and that hearts mend and heal soon. I Love you guys here and would like to meet each of you in person - a real hug, YEA, that's it - genuine and sincere......

I wish you the best of everything this holiday season, mr. meddle. Be careful what you wish for, though. I\'m a road-trippin\' hugger from way back.
You have the loveliest soul dear friend. It is so like you to recall the good of all those times and to celebrate the loving memories. I know what you mean about the person your wife was..... I so cherished my husband\'s \"shirt off his back\" modality. It is wonderful to have had that, and better still that you can appreciate it after all that has transpired since. I know the best is yet to be for you. I feel it in my bones. And speaking of bones, when a chill gets into yours, don\'t forget you have a home in the sunny SW when you need a getaway. boyd sends you inch high anklebiting love and chirps \"birdy? par?\"
I hear you so well. Its amazing how they can change radically, I do not recognize my sons father as the man I married. Feels like a past life.
Also relate to missing the love connection. Oh boy, how do I get that, Im learning and accepting that this longing is actually part of who I am, what my spirit is about...
My gift to you, a small envelope: a gift certificate - to be redeemed with the Universe with my support and most sincere hope that you get anything your heart desires, that you find this missing part of your soul Because you surely deserve nothing but the complete best of everything.
I wish you and your family a wonderful holiday - filled with peace, love, health and lots of joy.
A special Xmas hug, it would indeed be great to meet you in person too and give a real warm hug... :o))
I am also greatful for my happy memories - and I have many. My ex was also a very thoughtful, giving man and the holidays brought out the best of that in him.
Merry Christmas Mark. :)
the traditions that brought memories each year still hold true and will continue to create new memories this year with your family and for many years to come.
I miss having someone to share it with as well, but soon, there will be times like this where we will realize that we are sharing it with the people that care the most. This year, that is your family.
I wish you and your family the best Christmas you can share with others.
This will be my first year not being married to my ex, we are actually having Christmas eve together for our girls so they don\'t have to drive 50 miles to his sisters. He loved Christmas and the house was filled with lights and decorations and he was so generous at Christmas time we would all get so many presents, even from the dog. It will be a different Christmas for sure, but I plan on making new traditions. You are a wonderful guy and one day some lucky woman is going to be have that sweet special connection with you and you definitely deserve it. A big warm holiday hug to you, maybe in person someday. Merry Christmas.
this is my 4th year of nothing special in December, perhaps my last in NY
Awww Mountain man, I hear your heart on this one. What a time you must have had in that lovely place you live, but soon, very soon, someone will come to make your heart leap again.. You have been so good to yourself over this time, learning, growing, and becoming that which you are. I have had the pleasure of that hug, and sometime soon I am going to come get another hug;-)
Give the family my best wishes and a hug for Bobby G.. This is the only hug I can give you at present but if you close your eyes, you will remember.. {{{{{{Meddle}}}}}
Happy Holidays, meddle! Glad you will be surrounded by a loving family. Yeah, the holidays make us think back to other years... Hugs to you. Maybe we will meet you some day! :)
A few days late at responding. What a wonderful journal. It is good that you can look at the gifts she brought to your life. The memories of goodness and love are something to treasure.
I wish for you all things wonderful. I am thankful for you for so many reasons. You have been such an understanding good friend to me.
I will take one of those hugs,,,or maybe two or three. LOL
Long you live and high you\'ll fly and smiles you\'ll give and tears you\'ll cry and all you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be.
