Christmas thoughts as we head to the holiday...

Some Christmas thoughts:

This Christmas will not be the same as past years. You see, a couple weeks after Christmas 2006, my grandpa Shird Moses passed away, he was 81. Five months later, Papa Mitch Herald died of a hemorrhage at 66. THEN, as if those two weren't enough, I lost my aunt Kathy when she killed herself at age 43. Past Christmas Eves have been spent at Papa Mitch's...not this year. Past years, my aunt has come up for Christmas...not this year. Past years, I would always at least call grandpa Moses to say merry Christmas...not this year. It's hard to admit they're gone...but they were never forgotten.

I love you Grandpa "Mose", Papa Mitch, and Aunt Kathy...

Remember to always tell the people you love, that you love them...every day could be their last.

Sad to hear that friend. I too had a rotten Christmas season last year. I will not trouble anyone with the gory details, but needless to say it was a hard thing to get through. I hope everything works out for you man.

wise words! I hope time will heal the hurt you are feeling, but i know too the pain of losing loved ones, but they will always forever live in your memory and they are even closer than you think, if you keep them in your heart.

have a safe christmas!

I hope so too. I really struggled this week to come to grips with that entire set of facts. I still remember last year, how we went up to my uncle Jeff's and my grandpa Mitch said he'd never go back...how right he was...
