And then, I mean to come home and comment and wind up falling asleep instead. <BR/><BR/>Yes, the holidays are going to be torture this year. Have you considered doing something completely different with you and the kids? Something new to start new traditions? I think that's where we are with Lily. We're thinking about starting new traditions with her and creating new memories. <BR/><BR/>I think of you EVERYDAY and pray for you all the time. You are so often in my thoughts. <BR/><BR/>HUGS!Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317328366288947798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1845564822661253716.post-67158852303742075742007-11-07T16:39:00.000-06:002007-11-07T16:39:00.000-06:00Thanks for sharing some of your beautiful memories...Thanks for sharing some of your beautiful memories of your pretty darn wonderful husband. <BR/>I'm sure that you will manage to make new traditions with your kids, like Michele talked about. <BR/>Hope you had a fab day with James, he seems like a great kid :)Emblitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17536633790763026037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1845564822661253716.post-89254666302322138762007-11-07T15:13:00.000-06:002007-11-07T15:13:00.000-06:00Laura, I've nominated you for an award. :)I hope y...Laura, <BR/><BR/>I've nominated you for an award. :)<BR/><BR/>I hope you had a great day with James.Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14743533586969447238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1845564822661253716.post-72703796531569147572007-11-07T13:50:00.000-06:002007-11-07T13:50:00.000-06:00I am not looking forward to the holidays after the...I am not looking forward to the holidays after the pain of a wedding anniversary and two birthdays.

I got a wreath, and fortunately have a short gift list to buy for, and that was that. <BR/><BR/>This year, I'm already thinking about it. I might put up the tree. On the one hand, I'm feeling like I might like to have Christmas; on the other, I'm still not sure. I guess I'll know when I know. So will you.<BR/><BR/>Hugs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1845564822661253716.post-26023316861655237742007-11-06T14:48:00.000-06:002007-11-06T14:48:00.000-06:00That sounds like a good idea from Michele.

She died rather young and quickly and left a huge gaping black hole in the family. They all dreaded the approach of the holidays and wanted to skip it altogether, except that there were two grandchildren to think of, two grandchildren who very much needed to do what was normal and fun about Christmas after all of the painful grieveing they had witnessed in their parents and aunts and uncles and grandfather. So they soldiered on, doing the basics (tree, dinner, many toys for the kids) and skipped what hurt the most (Midnight mass, and the fancy Christmas breakfast her mother always made) and instead had a Christmas eve movie fest at home and ate candy and cold pizza for breakfast. It still hurt, but they got throught it. Now, several years later, the movie night and the cold pizza and candy are their new "traditions". Post Mom. <BR/>It sucks, but it will start to suck less eventually. Maybe you and the kids can create your own new tradition this year, and focus on that instead of all of the empty spots.<BR/>Still sucks.Miguelitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10134489935342720776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1845564822661253716.post-36742790785274256352007-11-06T12:29:00.000-06:002007-11-06T12:29:00.000-06:00My husband introduced me to real trees too except ...My husband introduced me to real trees too except he made the mistake of putting me in charge of tree maintenance, which obviously...did not end well.Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18085712930407611861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1845564822661253716.post-81824159742521038752007-11-06T12:15:00.000-06:002007-11-06T12:15:00.000-06:00Have fun spending time with James.
