Remembering those missing a loved one. - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Baby Blessing · 12-24-2009, 05:28 PM

I was sitting here recalling how very sad and lonely my life would have been if God had chosen to take my Jack back this past June, almost three times. HE has given us more time together which I am so thankful for.

I believe God has led me to come and post this, I started thinking of so many here and else where that God needed to take a loved one Home to HIM and so I want to especially let you know I am keeping you in prayer and may your heart feel warmth, be comforted in knowing God holds each one in HIS loving arms. Please know there are those out here that want to say we wish you a Blessed Happy Christmas, to let you know we are especially remembering you, keeping you especially in our thoughts and prayers.

Much Love and Hugs, Patti and Jack and Girls.

Thank you for this post. I am up early having a hard time with losing my Dad. The holidays are tough. I missed my Dad so much yesterday. I couldn't hardly get anything done. Christmas is sad for me now but I put on a good front for my kids. Christmas Eve dinner was his thing. He always went out and bought steak, lobster, shrimp and crab legs. It wasn't the same this year not being able to look over at his happy face. He is in a better place and I am sure there is a big party going on there today!

God Bless everyone that has lost someone special in your life.

Merry Christmas Patti and Jack !! your post was the first thing I read this Christmas morning and it's like you were speaking directly to me - as I layed in bed at 4 am the first thing on my mind was to say a prayer and tell my husband in heaven Merry Christmas.....so thank you.....Please tell Jack and your family Happy Holidays from your friend in Houston.

WV~Yorkies...big hugs. I'm feeling exactly like you are....I've had a horrible case of the flu for over 10 days and had to force myself out yesterday to finish Christmas shopping - I'm trying to be in the holiday spirit ....but the sad thoughts are prevelant....you have my thoughts and prayers.....It would be so nice to think of your dad and my husband at the same party - he loved the same things your dad did

ShelbyandSeymore - my prayers for your friend. He has a long road ahead

Merry Cristmas to all ....so many are going thru tough times and I hope each and every one of you is blessed during this season and the New Year will bring hope and change !

Thank you Patti for a beautiful post. I miss my Mom more each day and the holidays are no longer the same. My Dad is nearing the end of his life and took a turn for he worse yesterday. We are hoping he can join us today for what most likely will be his last Christmas. I know part of Jack's strength comes from the Lord and the rest from your loving devotion to his care. Prayers and hugs.

Oh sweetie -I just wrote you a pm then saw this ! I'm so sorry your dad is worse.

I know how much you've been thru since losing your mom and how hard it is to not have her in your life...

the pain really doesn't go away does it ? With your dad....he has the best daughter in you and I truly hope you have this time with him and will be praying for you Patti....You are such a special woman and if you ever need to talk - I'm here for you.

Thank you Patti for this thread.

I thankfully have not lost a close relative very lately. But Christmas always hurts when I think about my Grandma. She died on Thanksgiving day in 2001. I was 8. Every Christmas eve, my family would go over her house. The pain has almost completley been replaced with fond memories...but there are times where it's like she died yesterday. It's not so much the time when I'm thinking about her and remembering her that hurt...it's the times where I forget that she's gone that hurt. I know it seems funny to forget that she's gone, as it's been over 8 years now, but the wounds are still that fresh when they come to the top of the mind.

My cousin Lynn's husband almost passed away a few months ago. He suffered a major heart attack and "died" twice on the ER table, they were able to shock him back to life both times, and he is now fully recovered. But last night when I was going to Mass with her she was saying how she was thinking while wrapping his gifts about how different this Christmas would have been if the circumstances had been even a smidge different and they couldn't have saved him.

Despite the pain that we all feel around the Holidays in mourning of lost loved ones, I still like the fact that they are at the front of our memories around this time of year. I sometimes worry that I push those that I've lost too far to the back of my mind...like I'm forgetting about them...the Holidays just help me remember that I'm moving on, but they're still very much in my heart and mind.

and with my mom being sick with this mysterious disease...of course "that" thought has crossed my mind this Christmas. I really pray that 2010 is her year and they are able to help her...but it still crossed my mind.
