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 3 wee angels

My 3 angels.

2 who passed me quickly by and 1 who was my best little boy. I still love him with every bone in my body.

And my dad who is currently is rehab...

I pray each day gets a tiny little bit easier for him and our family.

The last few years have broken us, the next few weeks will change all of us forever, come on dad, be brave...

My dad, who died on Christmas day 39yrs ago when I was just a child.
My beloved mum who had to be both a mum and dad to all 5 of us and who died just recently. Missed so much, loved so much. Christmas will never be the same. Love and miss them both

This Christmas I am missing 3 people, all very differently.

My Aunt who died in February aged 62. Her death still affects my Mum as she died from similar illnesses that my Mum has.

A client of mine (wohm) who was sadly murdered I went to her funeral earlier this month and I am thinking of her little children

My ex P died last week. I have no idea what the circumstances were as we did not keep in touch. I hate for it to be disparaging but it was not a good relationship. I am very sad for his parents, burying their son next week

Thinking of you all who have lost loved ones.

i often think about the dad i could have had,if he hadnt been an alcoholic. He died at 62 of an aortic aneurism and lung cancer. If he hadnt been such a drunk he might have been a nice father and grandfather.

sorry for you missing DW dadinsteadofmum...that must be hard.

We have just lost our 'other' son a couple of days ago - he was sort of fostered by our family years ago as his parents lived abroad. He was travelling and was due home in a few weeks.
He was my eldest son's best friend and we are all inconsolable.

So sorry Gentelotter.
