To raise a glass to those not with us this Christmas

[BitterAndTwistedChoreDodger]

I personally will be raising a glass to my Nan, who died on a Christmas day, My Grandad who died on a boxing day, and to my friend Anita, who was lost to Covid this year.

Merry Christmas, I miss you all xx

I’ve just been doing the same. Can I send you a very non-MN e-hug? (We can go back to being pedantic and waspish in January )

Of course you can. Merry Christmas to you and those that you are missing xx

Raising a glass to mum and dad. Miss you both.

Merry Christmas reindeer, sorry for your loss x

Raising a glass to my brother. Miss you so much.

To my mum x

My husband took his own life on 20/12/19. Here's to you, Chris!

I’m so sorry to hear that, @Seren85.

Raising a glass to my darling Dad who had a stroke and passed away on 20 October this year.

Love you mum and dad XXXX

To my Dad who died this year. I was going to raise a glass to him on Xmas eve and I bloody well forgot

Heartbroken without you Mum and Dad. This is a tough year now you are both no longer here. I will always love and miss you so much. Party on in heaven. xx

To Mum and Dad, life is harder without you to share it with.

My dad, my aunt and my grandparents

A list, I'm afraid: my mum and dad, elder brother, dearest SIL and my lovely DH. Too many friends to mention.
