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 Steven. I wish you'd told someone; I can't imagine what made you decide that day. I hope your last thought wasn't that you could take it back.

To Ryan. I think you probably did know how many people love you: I hope so anyway. You were complicated but you've definitely left your mark on the world.

To my sharp, witty, silly and utterly lovely mum.

Not sure how I'm doing this first Christmas when she is only a few months gone, but she'd want me to give the kids a good one and I'm trying!!

To K. Nearly 16 years and I still miss you.

My first Xmas without dad. The Xmas eve phone call to him was part of our Xmas tradition since we were too far apart to spend Xmas together.

To my wonderful dad, my 1st Christmas without you. Heartbroken 💔

To my sweetest, kindest, most loving and special C - ex-husband and dearest friend - who died suddenly 6 weeks ago. I am lost without you and you are missed more than I can say ♥️

My lovely Gran. I will always miss you , especially at Christmas xxx

To the two beautiful girls who were taken in the summer thanks to the bastard that is cancer. I've thought about your families so much since, but even more over Christmas.

To J - the pain of staying was greater than the pain of going. To my parents, loved and missed xx

To John , the love of my life.I will always miss you xx

Belated but to TwitterQueen, my beautiful Mum who shared her cancer journey on here and died in August 2019. Our 2nd Christmas without you. Love you forever and ever xxx

TwitterQueen was so kind to me on my bereavement thread. I often think of her.
