Let's raise a glass

[Hobnobswantshernameback]

It's Christmas Eve.
just taking a moment out of the crazy to remember
Raising a glass to my dad. 10 years gone
lost to the curse of dementia before that
wishing you could have known your grandchildren better
to dad

To my wonderful mother in law who never got to see her grandson grow into the cheeky, smart and gorgeous lad he is. We’ll never forget you 💔

To my Dad who died suddenly last August.

We had a difficult relationship but he was the only dad ill ever have, and I miss him, even the arguments 😔
Xx

🍷love and eternal thanks x

To my husband who died 2 months ago.its bloody hard

To my C, beautiful soul so deeply missed 🥂 Never forgotten x

🍷to my dad 💕

To my cousin who passed away way before his time, you are always remembered as the amazing, generous, full of life, kind human you were. Not sure why you had to go so early.

To my darling bil, who died far too young and who we miss daily. These people leave such a gap and it’s a measure of how much they mean. To all those hurting, I raise a glass to you too.

To my aunt, who was more like a mother, she passed away this summer from cancer, and covid meant that we didn't spend as much time together as we should have in the past three years. I miss you. 🍷

To my mum.

She died this year and it's our first Christmas without her

To my wonderful grandmother who still makes me smile when I think of her laugh.

To my little sister, my only sibling, who died when we were teenagers.

The 24th Christmas without you. This year is harder than ever somehow.

Missed beyond words 💔

To my beautiful Mum, Nan, Grandad and our lovely dog Judy

To my parents and grandparents who all had birthdays around Christmas. And to my cat who I lost a few months ago. Cried over her today ☹️

🍷 Merry Christmas dad. Bet you're giving them hell up there.

To L, passed 5 years ago.
Your children are brilliant. You daughter a beautiful and clever young woman.

And my dad, nearly 30 years now - I wish you'd met your grandchildren. I see you in S all the time.

To mum and dad, taken too soon in tragic circumstances.
Remembering happy christmases of years gone by.
We miss you.

To my dad who a few months ago after a long battle with cancer, I miss you 🍷

To my friend who died in early December 4 years ago, and a child I taught who died just before Christmas 7 years ago.
to all of you who feel sadness at this time

🍷my dear dear Mum, I miss you more each day, its not getting any easier. 2.5 years without you.
My lovely granddads an Nanna x

To my Mum and Dad. I miss you both very much.

Thinking of all those children living a life of uncertainty and abuse for whom Christmas brings even more uncertainty and patterns you can't predict. Praying you all make it safely through this festive season.

So many glasses raised
nice to take a quiet moment

To my beloved Dad. We miss you. Christmas isn't quite the same without you.
