This Christmas is turning into one of those poignant memory lane trips but am so proud of my 2DCs.
Mum passed away 5 years ago and my Dad this year - so first time without either of my parents.
We have just put the tree up, which we used to go and do this weekend for my parents. Eldest helped me set it up. Has put the lights on - nothing else, oyungest has made a plate of smoked salmon, cream cheese, my parents favourite nibbles, poured me a glass of red wine and we have sat in the darkness with just the Xmas lights on snuggled on the sofa.
Time for new Christmas memories but bloody hell this is hard. No one ever tells you how hard it is.
