Thinking of my mum, who died nearly nine years ago, and of my Dad, who still misses her so much.

Especially now, as they were married 60 years ago today.

My Mum and Dad.
So sorry they never got to see their lovely Grandaughters.

My lovely dad, who died 6 months ago.

He would have loved to see his grandson's excitement this year, and would have had his party hat on til bedtime as always.

Missing you lots dad but you would want us to smile and enjoy Christmas so that's what I'm going to try to do.

Thinking of everyone else who's missing someone this Christmas xxx

My MIL Mary who was taken suddenly earlier this year. We didn't always have an easy relationship and now we'll never get the chance to. FIL is heartbroken without his best friend by his side, dh barely got the chance to say goodbye and she never got to see ds3. xxx

Mam died on 25th September, she was worn out and ill, glad to go, but I keep trying to do her christmas shopping!!

Through the pain try to find a happy memory, it must be so hard when your loved one died an untimely death and you miss the future you could have shared.

I'll raise a glass to Mam, Lilian, who would thoroughly disapprove, and hope she's in peace with those she oved.

TheVirginGoober · 23/12/2008 19:18

This is the first Christmas without Mum.
We all miss her so, so much.

frasersmummy · 23/12/2008 19:34

ds fraser born asleep 15 April 2004

sometimes it feels like only yesterday

bluebump here is a thread where lots of bereaved mummies cry together,laugh together, talk gibberish to each other but most importantly support each other

come and have a gab if you feel like it

munchkinmum · 23/12/2008 20:01

My brave dad died May this year. Even though I know he is watching over me, I miss him so much it hurts.

It's going to be a tough christmas...

EvenstarofWonder · 23/12/2008 23:39

Remembering my dear husband died June 2008, and in the words of the prayer at my church this Sunday "All those whose lives have been reshaped by tragedy this year, and those who have an empty place at their Christmas table". Wishing everyone strength to get through this Christmas season.

MKG · 24/12/2008 00:28

I am thinking of my Dad who died 4 years ago Dec. 21st. The holidays haven't been the same since and never will be.

PurplePillowsInSantasBed · 24/12/2008 00:34

My darling Gran 19/12/76

My darling Daddy 04/04/74

They may be gone but never forgotten

Love you both so much xxxx

KewcumbersRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 24/12/2008 00:35

not sure if this is an appropriate place for this as its not someone who died but someone who is absent.

I think of DS's birth mother who won't see his lovely face when he opens his presents and will never know what a beautiful boy she gave birth to.

pinkbubble · 24/12/2008 00:36

Thinking of my Grandad, he died 25 yrs ago. saw my Nanna today and she asked me if I remembered my Grandad.

Yes Nanna, I remember my Grandad, he was the most sweetest, most gentle giant on this earth. I love the way he told me I was his sugar princess,.

God bless Grandad, I really do wish you had met my DDs - they are FAB!!!!

Good night xxx

SilkStockings · 24/12/2008 00:39

My parents - both died at Christmas. I love you.

eliselady · 06/01/2009 23:38

For my dad, and my grandparents. Who I miss so much.

And just when I think I am at peace, I find myself crying, drinking too much wine and all by myself on my birthday.
