Best to you Wolf, as you honor these important people with your wonderful memories of them. I lost my brother two weeks before Christmas in 2000 and another good friend just days before Christmas (both unexpected) and it seems now that the holidays bring with them a certain amount of trepidation if I'm not careful to check it at the door.
Hope everyone gets through these holidays with the peace and joy they're supposed to bring!
I know exactly what you mean. I lost my mother and brother in the Memorial Day flood in 1981 and then my dad 20 years later almost to the day in 2001. I hate May with a passion.

my heart goes out to you...it is so difficult to get through the holidays for me, too
I lost one sister December 30, 1996, my other sis December 21, 2006; my brother on Jan 7 2008 and my father Jan 8 2008...mom passed away in April of 2007---I find the holiday season more of an endurance test these days, but I try to volunteer somewhere to keep myself from having a pity party. It is tough at times.
In 1995 October 22 my Mother died after a very long time of suffering with Osteoperosus. My Dad died in 1964 on November 20 and my husband's Mother died on the same day of November 23 years later. Donna
