The annual Christmas Eve 'raise a glass' thread

[cptartapp]

Can't see one yet this year? To raise a glass each Christmas Eve and remember those we've lost.
To my mum and dad. Taken too soon in tragic circumstances. Still missing you both so very much.

To my big brother who died in September. He was only 44 and it was too sudden, too soon. Still don't have the right words to say goodbye, will raise a glass tonight instead. Love you bro

My wonderful, funny amazing mum. You left us far too young 3 years ago. I miss you so so much. I love you infinity 🥂

To all that are missing a loved one, sending my love to you.

Lit a 🕯 for my beloved Mum taken too quickly & too young 5 years ago, laid to rest 24/12/2015

To my lovely sister who we lost four years ago. She adored Christmas, raising a gin and tonic to her tonight.

Such a heartbreaking thread but also lovely to have somewhere to raise a glass to our loved ones.

To my wonderful Dad taken so suddenly from us in June. I miss you so much.
And my brother who left us suddenly almost 8 years ago.

I can’t spend tomorrow with anyone because I am self isolating
What a truly shite year

To my friend, who died boxing day 2019. So glad you didn't have to see this year - you would have hated it - but desperately sad you won't see any others.
Having a drink in your name, and will be visiting your DP soon, he's doing well and surrounded by good people. Xxx

To my Mum, Cheers, she loved a wee glass of Pinot. I lost her 6 years ago, a day after her 60th birthday. Xmas has never been the same again.

To my lovely mum who died at Christmas 8 years ago and for whom my new baby daughter is named. Your littlest and last grandchild will always know how special you were.

To my husband’s wonderful gran, who we lost this year, and who always loved Christmas with us. We got married at Christmas last year and she told me it was one of the best days of her life, I’m so glad she was there to share it.

To my auntie D who died this year without having seen her family in weeks due to lockdown in the care home

And to B, a beautiful talented girl gone far too soon.

To my darling father. I try to make you proud every day, even now. Miss you terribly.

To C. Taken cruelly in August leaving a young family.
And to D. I watched the Snowman this morning on tele and thought of you. xx

To my lovely Mom who I miss more than ever especially now I have my own DS who she would adore 🥰 🥂

To my gorgeous daughter, you are my hero. Taken far too young from us but for those 2 and half years the memories we made are irreplaceable just like you 💕 Love you baba girl.

To Jay and Philip I hope your are running free. I miss you both so much. Look after my darling girl ❤🧡💛💚💜💙🤍

My husband, it's been a while now but you loved Christmas and I hope I've given the kids that from you.

My Nan, lovely old nan, glad you didn't have to live through this year, it'd have been rotten for you.

My lovely friend. I'm sorry x

My wonderful aunt who left us suddenly and far too early a few weeks ago. You absolutely loved Christmas & lit up a room with your smile, you outshone any Christmas tree. The hole in our family is huge but Dad is trying his best to fill your (tiny) shoes. I love you & miss you every day

To my baby son taken away from us before he even had a chance to have a first Christmas ❤️

To my darling son, who died alone, away from home, I never had the chance to say goodbye. I miss him every day. My lovely mum, who suffered dreadfully in her final days and was denied the care she needed.
So sad.

To my grandma and grandad. I wish you could see DS now ❤️. Missing you both and love you both so so much.

To my mum... 16th Christmas without you...still remembered, still missed. Only 57 when she died and I'm sorry she has missed so much.
Also my friend GeeBee, many a happy night spent putting the world to rights. Died an old man but was always young at heart.

My amazing, funny and kind best friend who died suddenly and unexpectedly just over a year ago at the age of 46. We'd been friends forever and I feel like the rug's not only been pulled out, but I'm slowly being smothered by it.

To my dad, gone 15 years in October this year. I still miss your helpful grunts when I need advice. 💝❤❣
to my mother, gone 6 years. Go fuck yourself

To my dad, miss you always. To my brother, we love you and we miss you. It won't be the same this year without you. Here's to both of you ❤️

To my wonderful Dad, who died 13 years ago. He was only 59.

Your only grandchild is 7 years old. I wish you could have met him. I know you would adore him, and he would have loved his Taid.

Miss you and love you always x

To my mum, I miss you the same as the day you were taken. You we're right it is amazing and is brilliant.

The stars don't shine as bright now you are gone xx
