Hold those that you love near this year. You may not know when your last Christmas with them will be

This is the first Christmas my kids have had to spend without their mother. It's tough, but they're shouldering their grief. We were married 40 years ago yesterday, and today would have been her 62nd birthday

Me. Sorry

That's okay. This time of year is going to be a rough time for me from here on.

Hang in there.

Will do. We wound up having her with us at least two decades longer than she should have been here.
