Someone does this on another board I post. Its a chance for you to post about the people you will miss this Holiday Season because they have passed on. A way to remember them and keep them in our hearts.

For me its my Grandfather. He died 4 years ago this last Sunday and I still miss him. He raised me and was my "Dad", we were extra close and I was spoiled rotten. We all miss him but know he is out of his pain. The time goes so fast, its hard to believe its been 4 years but it still makes me teary.

Hi Tam,


My heart goes out to you and my thoughts with you!


I have been thinking about my brother who we lost in 2000.

For me it would be my grandparents, both sets. They have all been gone for a long time, since 1985, but I was very close to all of them with the exception of my paternal grandfather. He died 2 months before I was born but after he died my paternal grandmother stayed with us and I was her way through the grief. She used to always tell me how much I was like him and I always felt like he was with me. Kind of weird I know.


But I do miss all of them.

For me it would be my Grandmas. One died in 1990 and the other in 1996, so it's been many years, but I still think about them often.

For me, it would be my brother. He died at the young age of 43 in the year 2000. He had a massive heart attack. The saddest parts for me is that my DD Jasmine was only 3 1/2 when he died & she doesn't even remember him. Also, his son is married now with one son & another baby on the way & he died before he had a chance to see his only child get married & he never got a chance to see his grandkids.

There are two people my family will be thinking of often this Christmas

1) My mother-in-law. She was a great lady, and she loved Christmas. Christmas wasn't just a holiday, but a grand event. She would knock her self out getting the house ready for all of her family. About 50 people would come during the course of the day. She could accomodate everyone because she had large, 200 year old, farmhouse. The kitchen had an erormous fireplace where up to thirty stocking would hang. This is our third Christmas without her.

2) My brother-in-law. We lost him a few months ago, and his family hasn't gotten over the shock. This first Christmas will be hard, and when the family gathers, I suspect they will be teary.
