[QUOTE="buddy, post: 492091, member: 12886"] Oh wow, you did so much and I was even thinking, imagine how awful it would have been for M NOT being with you. You were there to support him through what would likely have been a terrible holiday season anyway. If his family does not give him gifts for Hanukkah and different things trigger him, well, that would likely happen anywhere. Thank heaven he had you. Matt should realize that too. It is hard to imagine them as grown men when you describe them. I know they are not emotionally grown, but it is just sad they have those intense feelings. There was too much going on for you and nothing you could have done better! First time holidays after a death are terrible. My friend went with her kids to FLA for their first warm Christmas (dad died and the kids are just middle school) but they felt good talking about him a lot! Everyone is so different. It should be left to those closest to set the tone, sorry your aunt did not see that she needed to just keep it in her own "thinking bubble". HUGS. I am glad it is done now and I hope the Christmas let-down doesn't hit you and yours. Sounds like it can only go up from there! Saying a prayer for peace for you and hoping that M and Matt can enjoy each other and have a nice trip bringing M home too. [/QUOTE]
