Why...why...oh why do people do this!!!!!

    Will do! 

I lost my father to suicide when I was 15...holidays are a challenge because I still miss him greatly.

I have had a chain of events happen over the last 2 weeks to break me down BUT please consider the following....

you still have people here on this earth that may be gone tomorrow....tell them that you love them while you have the chance...they want to be with you because they love you and being able to spend any time with them is a treasure. 

I would give up everything I own to be able to spend just more more day with my father...and when I think about the people that I still have here...I try to tell them how much I care and spend time with them as often as possible. Don't miss an opportunity you still have to be with loved ones while still remembering the ones that you have lost.

  ... thanks Ya Ya!

(((Trina))))  how was your birthday celebration?

Kim,

I often think on how I would be during these holidays when the day comes for me to celebrate it w/o my parents. I swear I am so afraid of losing them it puts me in tears. I remember the last time my mother got sick and I cried for a 24 hours straight. I really don't know if i'll be able to live w/o my Mamma or Father. Christmas is my mothers favorite holiday and I'd never be able to celebrate w/o her.

I trully understand how you feel and they should leave you alone.

Have your ever seen Reign On Me w/ Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle. That is EXACTLY how I would be if I lost my folks.

Is that better?  Full frontal hug...boobs and all!  LOL

Thanks, that made me laugh!

Sup, Nate,
Dude, I think about my parents leaving often these days cuz they are both getting up there.  Both still active, but up there.  For me, I lost a brother back in '91.   And while I and my remaining brothers (there are 4 of us left) miss him terribly (especially around this time) we focus on the good stuff.  When we get together,  we talk about all the funny stories and stuff.  I suspect (hope) that when my parents are called home that we will mourn/cry/be angry/all of the above (which is natural, for sure), we will all have to learn to live with the loss and smile on our memories. 

I'm not saying you or anyone else would have to do this, of course, but that what I find myself preparing for as I watch my mom and dad get older.
