Another sad moment

[crowdog66]

A few minutes ago I had to get something from the top of the entertainment unit in our studio. One of the other things on top of the unit was an M. Pena "circle of cats" candleholder:



I gave it to my mother years ago, and she brought it out to be the table centerpiece whenever George and I went over there to have dinner. In it, I found the candle she had put in it last Christmas.

What a wave of memories... :-( and also the realization that there will NEVER be another Christmas dinner at my mom's place. No more lively discussions; no more delicious sour cream potato balls; no more... mother.

It's like a fist in the gut.

The first year after you lose a loved one is always the toughest. My dad died last year just as we were heading into what my family calls Birthday and Holiday Season, nine birthdays (including Dad's) plus the holidays all squeezed into four whirlwind months. His absence at the table was keenly felt at every single event.

*Big hugz* Hang in there. I'm here if you need to talk. If you like, we can get together for that evening out that we postponed months ago.
