The holiday season
Goes bustling on by
No one even notices
The tear in my eye

You won't be here………….
The first Christmas in 30 years
I can't find a way
To hold back the tears

I miss you so much
I wish you could know
My heart hasn't been able
To let you go

I try to be strong
Like you wanted me to
I love you…………I miss you
Merry Christmas Aunt Sue…………….

I can relate... I lost a good friend last weekend.  He was in his early 30s but had a lot of medical conditions.  He was my mentor during my own medical challenges to help me through whatever I was facing medically... He led the way for me. After surgeries we would laugh about our similarities.  I figure that he has gone on ahead to prepare a way for me once I get there.  Thanks for giving me an oportunity to vent.  You are not alone.  Bob <><

If we remember someone they never really disappear, for thier thought lives on.  When we forget someone that's when they cease to exist.

If a dream touches us, it exists to us as anything else that touches us.

Christmas is always hard after you lose someone you love. I lost my grandfather 11 years ago this Saturday, and Christmas is never easy for me. I hope that you are able to remember the good times this Christmas. Thanks for sharing.

My friend, I too can relate.  A few years ago my three year old nephew was taken to sit next to God right after Thanksgiving and it is terribly hard to accept the loss to us but I have come to realize as has his mother (my sister) and the rest of the family that he is in a much better place and he is ALWAYS with us.  Your Aunt is with you because she lives in your heart so my friend, celebrate the fact that you have that love to hold onto know that she is happier now than any of us could possibly imagine.  Hugs to you my friend.  I know it isn't easy.

A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses.

SEA,

This one packs a punch.  It is always toughest at the holidays.  Try to hang on to the memories . . .for there, she will live eternally my friend.

SEA,
This is so very sad, but also a true reflection of love for a dear one. You are such a beautiful and kind person.

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love
