It's not going to be very 'easy' for us this year either after my sister died last March. These 'firsts' are never going to be other than tinged with sadness. I just cuddle my two, and be thankful we are still here......... and hope my husband and I make it through the Season. So hard to lose anybody and even more so at special holidays!
For those that are sadly reminded of loss at this time of year my heart goes out to you all - I hope you manage to find a way to reminisce & smile this Christmas even through the pain of your loss.
Hugs & Mistletoe Kisses to you all, and all your furry friends.
