Keara loved Halloween so much even when she was an adult. She dressed in a costume and went trick or treating with her kids. Now she is gone and once she was gone the kids stopped trick or treating at my house. And so begins the wave of Holidays that are so difficult to get through. Last year I didn't even get together with my family on Thanksgiving. I was sick and just didn't feel like it anyway. I try to feel thankful for who and what I still have in my life but if the truth be told I don't feel very thankful. I am so tired of grieving and I just want my Keara back and I can't have that. We are approaching a hard time of year for all of us and I am very thankful to have you ladies in my life. Love yas.
Christmas was my favorite I just loved seeing my boys faces light up when they opened their presents, I always tried to get at least one thing they really, really wanted. Now I don't even bother with a tree unless Miss Sandra is here. I think this year I will put lights in the crape myrtle in Jimmy's garden. Boy who would have ever thought that is what I would be giving My Jim for Christmas. I too am so grateful I have all of you.
Love and Hugs

I too see Christmas stuff in the stores already. I remember Mark opening his gifts, wish I could go back to those days. Mark's birthday is 4 days after, he'll be turning 26 in heaven.
My grandson asked me the other day if we stay our same ages when we become an Angel or do we get older. Do you MOMS know?
Hi Randi
My thought is that My Jim will forever be 32, my granddaughter Jimmy's little girl told me when we go to heaven we all become little kids again so when she goes to heaven she will be able to play with her daddy.

Aww Shirley that's just so heartbreaking to hear, sweet little thing. My son forever 15!! loved halloween, he dressed up too LOL, the last one we went to my friend's party I have it on my facebook with him and his friend, he was dressed up in of all things, a prisoner!!! The orange jump suit and a pretend beard I drew on his face. My last halloween with him, I'm so glad to have the picture but I think of all that I've missed, so many, too many....
Yes the dreaded holidays ladies....but Lisa must be working overtime leaving me a penny then AV another one today...both 1989....and even a 1969 the year the sick ******* was born but later that day I realized why she left that one for me....Because our civil attorney has his medical records!!! Anyway I firmly believe she pushed this thought in my head today as I was thinking about gathering up our Halloween stuff to see what we won't use and take over to sell at the Kove...then it dawned on me to decorate the store in style and stay open late and pass out candy. Now I am really into it and thinking our we can really "do it up" Hallowheezie Style!!Lisa loved Halloween and scary movies however I don't think she ever dreamed she would be murdered much like the likes of some of the movies they watched. But I do know she loved little kids and they loved her and she would want us to do this (even though I hate when others say what Lisa would want...lol). So I will definitely take lots of pictures and perhaps we will even have a few extra "visitors" if they are not too camera shy!!!Luv ya Ladies.....Laura & AV
I can't do it, I can't do Halloween anymore, I hate Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Year's Eve, (Timmy's birthday) I try so hard to make it all special, but one of the ones I can't do is Halloween. He loved it, always decorated the house in and, he'd get that spidar stuff you know the web stuff and string it all over the yard and then do up a fake monster/guy and have him sittin in the chair. He'd love to get dressed up! he loved scary movies! I just can't anymore, it hurts too much.
