[QUOTE="Penta, post: 112409, member: 1644"] I wanted to add my reflections as well. Holidays have not been the same for me since my daughter died suddenly at age 23 almost 15 years ago. There have been many seasons when I have struggled to make a Christmas for my smaller family. And then after Katrina, our lives changed even more. I am like you. I love the sounds, aromas, social gatherings and festivities of the holidays, but now have settled on an alternative Christmas that is best for us. This year my son and his wife and my girl and I went to brunch at a 24 hour, We Never Close Deli and then to a movie later in the day. While I dearly miss my larger family and friends, this celebration worked for us. Sometimes, reflecting brings the pain close to the surface again. Your longing for your Mom is natural and normal. Take care. [/QUOTE]
