Merry Christmas!
It is Christmas Eve 2009 and I am missing my mom (and MY family) like crazy. I must be in mourning... I want to wish everyone out there a Merry Christmas. Please cherish your loved ones, this is coming from someone who knows all too well how much that is meant... I lost my mom just over 2 years ago. I would love to hear her voice again tonight.
The holidays are the hardest for me. And it hasn't seemed to get any easier (yet) and I am not sure if it ever will. Let your loved ones know how much they mean to you, even if you havent't in a long time. I haven't talked to my own dad for months and I called him up tonight and told him I loved and missed him. THIS WAS NOT AN EASY THING FOR ME. My dad and I have had our differences thru the years and have had a rough relationship, but I don't want to be like someone else who I know.
Someeone very close to me lost someone. This person hadn't talked to this person or shared their feelings for sometime... and to this day it has been a really hard for this person... Okay, I am rambling. But, what I am trying to convey is not to take for granted what you have. Family is the most IMPORTANT thing in this world, at least to me, and you ought to let your loved ones know how much you love them and how MUCH they mean to you.
Mom and Grandma Betty - wherever you two are tonight, please please please KNOW how much I miss and love you both. It has been the hardest two years of my life not having you two here the past few years. My girls both love you and miss you. They won't and probably don't remember much... but I will be sure to share the legacy and love for you both.
Merry Christmas to Everyone out there. Please share your love with those whom mean the most to you. You never know when the people who mean the MOST to you will be lost, believe me... 10/19/2007 will forever be in my heart and mind...
