The Holidays are hard for alot of people.  It could be because of funds, just plain do not like the holiday season, or most saddening the passing of a loved one.  I was speaking with one of my clients today and he was telling me how is mother is in the hospital ill and had almost passed last week.  As I sat and told my husband about it I thought who we have lost.  It just 2 short years we lost my husbands mother on 12/2/2005 and almost 1 year to the day his uncle.  I thought about our last holiday, Thanksgiving with her, the family had all came to our home where Loraine (his mom was staying on hospice)  I thought about my daughters reaction, that she still has and at times more since Grandma "Raines" passing.  I remember others we have lost over the years.  It  is sad yet at the same time almost calming.  I have learned to not dwell on the passing but the memories.  I had even begun to write a poem  (  I love to write).  I write what you call free verse, it could be from any perspective, this one I did in the perspective of the person who passed. I am doing something for my husbands family for Christmas in remberence of his mom and will be adding this as the beginning,

        Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â            "  I am no longer here for all to see and touch, But please do not mourn my loss, but rejoice, laugh, & love what I did and remeber who I was."

 I do not know really why I am blogging about this, but I felt someone else needed to hear this.
