I've tried writing a reply a thousand times. All it makes sense but I just can't hit reply with out deleting it.

I just wish..........

I know how you feel man. Stay strong. I'm in a similar same spot. PM me if you need to talk.

I used to feel the same way. Today is the 17 yr anniversary of my dad passing away; I am now 30...

Now that I have a family of my own, I am reminded to make the most of this time of year with my son. Make positive memories.

Cherish the good memories, and may God comfort you and yours as you move forward.

I'm trying really hard to like this time of year. Last year was tough but we trudged ahead. Gonna do the same this year but will try to do it with a smile on our faces.

Hoping I could be to next year already....this first one sucks.

My son would have been due Dec 22nd if he wasn't born 10 weeks early, only getting him for 8 days and losing him.

I know God has bigger plans, and I will continue to praise Him and thank Him for what he gives me, but this is rough...

I have a difficult time at holidays. I mean I have a wonderful family to share them with but have loved ones that are missing and I get flooded with memories that kinda bring me down. I usually just close my eyes and try to go back to when I was a kid and find that innocent feeling of laying under the Christmas tree and staring up through the lighted branches. Talk about worry free. That's what I miss most I guess. Lol.

God Bless all of you

^^^^^^^these are my exact thoughts. I buried my dad on on December 22nd 2000. Buried him on the 26th. My twin daughters whom he never got to see were born on Cristmas Eve 2 days after my dad passing. Talk about bittersweet. Holidays were tough for a while without him (dad/best friend) but I have my 2 daughters that remind me of the saying " The Good Lord giveth and The Good Lord taketh away". Hunting and fishing will never be the same, but I've got my kids to pass what my dad passed to me as a kid. God Bless

It's a reminder to me of all that WAS good about family and all that WILL never be.

Praying for comfort, peace, and joy for you and all the others that have expressed similar feelings in the days ahead. May He touch your lives and fill you with the "joy that is" during this time of year.
