Christmas has been hard for me for many years. But I found a new song that is my Christmas song. I hope this means something to you as well.http://fascinately.com/feel-good/2014/11/incredible-performance-of-mary-did-you-know-will-get-you-in-christmas-spirit/My very best to you,DavidI wish you all the best David. My Dad's heart was broken and he just did not have the will or strength or desire to fight his illness. It is going to be a very quiet Holiday Season around my house this year....mostly reflecting on happier times..that will be my gift to myself this year........

One of the things Smoke posted I think we need to look at very closely. If you have a loved one that is getting on up in years and you want to do something for them they you think they will like, such as the grill Smoke mentioned, don't wait for a special time such as Christmas or birthday. Do it now! They may not be around for that special time. Afterall, we give because we think the loved one deserves and would like/enjoy whatever it is and just use the special occasion as the time to do it. To someone of our loved ones...just the sun coming up today is a special occasion. Love them while they are here. Dee
There is no easy goodbye to those we love. The shock of the first loved one to pass is terrible, but it does not ever get easier. Tell the people that you love, that you love them, often, it may be your last opportunity!
