My mum can't believe it will be almost 8 years since she died. I wish she had got to meet her grandchildren and had a Christmas with them , she loved it....

My big sister. Both my grandmothers. And this year especially, my dear friend Pam. I know she's with me, my little boy turned up on her birthday. I just wish she was here to meet him.

Sorry for all your losses.

My beautiful girl. This is our 4th Christmas without her. Its her 18th birthday in January too.

God I miss her so much.

I am sorry for everyone missing someone they love.

My Mum who died 14 years ago. She sent into hospital on Christmas day and never came home. She never met any of her Grandchildren, or even my DH.

Thinking of everybody on this thread - it's never an easy time of year when someone's missing.

Our good friend Liam who died in September from a brain tumour.

mankymummymoo · 23/12/2009 21:39

My wonderful dad who died 10 years ago yesterday.

My beautiful friend who died 14 years ago.

My MC'd baby who would now be a noticeable bump.

My mum, who died 19 years ago and never got to see the adults her children became, or meet her beautiful little grandson.

My beloved older brother, died in April 2007 from the bastard cancer. Never, ever forgotten. I think of him every hour of every day.

Warm wishes to all who will be missing someone at Christmas, especially to those of you who have lost children - my heart breaks for you all.

MrsMattie · 23/12/2009 21:40

My granny. Died in 2003. Christmas never the same since she died.

My DS2 - he was stillborn at 36 weeks and was actually due on Christmas day 3 years ago. Also my 4th baby that I m/c at 14 weeks and was due Dec last year.

Janestillhere · 23/12/2009 21:45

My darling mum, who died last year in April and my younger brother who was only 22 when he died 16 years ago. My nan too.

Miss them so much. Just going through a divorce too at the moment and Christmas is very raw at this family time of year...

bluebump · 23/12/2009 21:49

My DS1 who had been due in Dec 07 but who was born in the Aug and lived just 10 mins.

mylovelymonster · 23/12/2009 21:56

My mum who passed June '08, and my father who passed a few weeks ago. Both too young, and shockingly soon after diagnosis - especially mum, God bless her.
Love to all those missing loved ones x

GColdtimer · 23/12/2009 22:15

My friend Gwynne who died just over died two years ago from a sudden and chronic illness. He loved christmas and so I am thinking of him, his wife (my best friend) and his family at the moment(and DH and I have adopted his christmas eve meal of ham, egg and chips in memory of this very special person - I hope he knows!)

love to you all ladies, love to you all

callmeovercautious · 23/12/2009 22:51

My Grandma - the best friend a little red haired girl could have. And my Grandad - who never got to meet the Grandaughter he so wanted X

And to all those who ave lost a child or partner or loved one - may you have a peaceful and happy Christmas and New Year X

fruitsticksinyourstocking · 23/12/2009 22:52

My Dad, who died in 1998, and my Mum, who died in 2004. And DH's mother who died 4 years ago today, when I was 6 months pregnant with DS1.

None of them got to meet my children but I do find Christmsa, although sad at times, filled with heritage that I can pass on to my boys. Lots of talk of how I spend Christmas as a child, recipes and special food my mum used to make and random family traditions.

Sazisi · 23/12/2009 23:00

My lovely sweet Granny who died September '08. We miss her, but her time had come (99 years). Happy christmas Granny. I hope you got a good seat
