[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 462091, member: 84"] Katie and the kids were gone for about 7 yrs, 6 yrs? The first were the toughest. I made the effort to do things that would make [B]me[/B] enjoy the holidays or that would really help someone else who would appreciate it, enjoy the holidays. Toys that I'd have liked to have bought for kayla and alex were donated to toys for tots. We made a special effort to choose activities we all truly enjoyed and backed off from others. That first year I wasn't just trying to cope myself, but also trying to help the family cope. I made sure I got in plenty of me time. And yes, there were plenty of tears. Holidays and birthdays always got to me. Not nearly as bad after the first couple, but I never stopped thinking about them, regardless of how much I tried. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
