Christmas Day Will Not Be the Same This Year - Comments

@ The Doctor
Thanks :) I am going to try, if nothing else other than for my brother and my sister! I know nothing will ever be the same again, so I appreciate your words, thank you. I hope you're Christmas is okay too.

I can't imagine how awful it must be for you. Try to notice and be grateful for the little things you do have to hold onto. My mother passed away last year, and Christmas is a lonely occasion of my dad and I sitting around doing nothing, with hardly any presents at all because it is just not the same. I know how difficult it is to focus on what is still there, but I do wish I could be more grateful just to be with my dad. It's just very difficult to put aside problems in order to be at peace, if only for a little while.
