It’s really made me think and ponder; thank you for this gift.

And I am so very sorry for your loss and having to go through this first holiday season without your brother. I can’t even imagine and I’m so sorry for that.

And coincidentally I received a greeting card from a woman who used to be my best friend going back 65 years – she married my favorite cousin and the friendship stood intact. Then in the last five or six years she withdrew and after numerous attempts to communicate with her, I gave up. Now I wonder what to do about the greetings after all this time – there is no way to go back to what we had but I feel I should acknowledge the card, although I strongly believe it was sent by her daughter who lives in the same house with her.
I want to wish you and yours all the best for the holiday season and for the New Year – may it be a healthy, happy and prosperous one for you. God bless and thanks for your wonderful blog.

I am thankful that I got to spend some quality time with my step-father-in-law before he passed. We were able to have a family Thanksgiving, and had hoped to have one last Christmas with him, however the Amyloidosis took him from us the morning of the 8th (exactly 2 weeks ago today). Christmas won’t be the same without his wonderful smile and twinkling eyes, his internal joy and peace. However, we do have the happy memories of a Thanksgiving spent focusing on family and love for one another. God bless his soul, and God bless your brother’s soul as well. Christmas won’t be easy, and though I don’t know you, I am very sorry and saddened to hear about your loss.

My best friend lost her brother two days ago. It was a long illness, the same way I lost my brother. We knew and we had to time to prepare and repair anything, but it surely taught me. I’m so sorry for you loss. You seem like a good famly. I came here from your daughter and daddy date post and it was heart warming to see that tradition. Merry Christmas to you.
