who will be in your thoughts on christmas day?

[kerryk]

this will be my 6th year without my gran and i still miss her loads. christmas day is not the same without at least 15 of my family crowded into the tiny little bedroom in the care home.

also dh's friend who was killed in iraq during the summer. this will be the first christmas his dw and dc spend without him

lots of ppl for lots of different reasons, not all sad

OJ, Steve and family
MB, Mr MB and family
Misdee, Peter and girls
my gran who joined my grandad in the Next Place
my friends DS2 who nearly died from meningitis but made such a miraculous recovery

and daftly, the baby i m/c who should be 2 on NYE

My Sister.. she died on new year so very much in my mind this time of the year as the last time I saw her was at christmas!!

My lovely Nan who left us in july 2007. This is our second Christmas without her & Christmas Eve was always spent with Nan so tomorrow she will be very missed. We are going to the cemetery to take flowers tomorrow morning.

rather selfishly...my lovely mum who Chistmas is not the same without.

My Dad who died last month - 20 years to the day of my Mother's death.

I will also be thinking about a terrified little boy who lost his mother and father in the Mumbai shootings. I don't know who he was but I pray for him at night and truly hope he is being looked after with love.

My Mum who died 15 years ago,My Dad who died 11 years ago and my brother who died 5 years ago.

Still miss them all so much.

Especially when my children are opening their presents and see the looks on their faces.
My parents never got to see their grandchildren.

you lot have all brought a tear to my eye and I hope you all manage to have fun as those who are no longer with you, would not want to see you sad.

My DS who died in 1982 aged 7 months and my DS who died in 1992 aged 7 years. BUT I do know they are all around us - just not here physically.

Will also miss my dear friends in Rhodes, Greece. Nikos, Thomas, Takis and his family, Tasos and his family, Sam and Maria. They may as well be a million miles away.......

I will be raising a glass to all absent loved ones....

I always miss my mum she died when i was 11.

This year i will be thinking of the parents ofa boy from my sons school he was killed in tragic road accident just before christmas last year.

my gran. RIP.

My lovely dad

My gran who died in Jan 1999 and my great uncle (who lived with her) 2 days prior to her, also my great uncle's twin who managed to survive for another 2 years without his two best friends

My maternal grandmother, who had more years on this earth than so many of the poor souls mentioned here (she died aged 80) but who I still miss terribly. She would have loved my DD so much.

My grandad who passed away about 15 years ago, I can feel a lump in my throat as I post this, he was the closest I had to a Dad and the only person whom I have ever felt loved me unconditionally other than my dd. I have always felt a little lost since he has gone.

I will also be thinking of my inlaws who both died last year and my grandma who passed away this year.

A strange one but I also think about my ex husband who will be sad to be without both his children.

After trying for a second child for 4 years, and having suffered 2 ectopics and 3 miscarriages, I will be thinking of my little girl who is having YET ANOTHER Christmas without a brother or a sister.

Please, please, let's hope this is the last.....

my nans who died 3 years ago and 5 years ago. who i miss so much.my best friends brother who died of meningitis 20 years ago at xmas.my childhood friend who died 2 years ago.
i'll also be thinking of my aunt who's got cancer [who we didn't think would be here this xmas].
love to you all x

I shall be thinking of my only sibling who committed suicide 5 years ago.Also all the other relatives who have died.
