Post Christmas Pre New Year

I've been off the blogging radar. I believe I said in an earlier post that might happen.  I got through Christmas. It's never my favorite time of the year but much more difficult being the first Christmas without Mom.  I was painfully reminded of how she influenced the holiday season throughout my whole life up until now.

I don't have much to post about.  I considered taking a hiatus however I'm not going to be that formal.  If I have something to write about or pictures to post I will.  If not, then there will be nothing.  It hit me I didn't get my camera out any in the last weeks - no pictures of the snow, Christmas etc.  Oh well.

Overall 2009 was not a good year but good things did happen this year.  I'll end the year celebrating our 22nd wedding anniversary and being optimistic about 2010. Happy New Year!

Yep, I have to agree with you. For the most part 2009 sucked, even though there were a couple of good parts. 2010 will be better!!

Today is my Dad's birthday. It's been 8 years since he passed, but this is the first time my family (mom, sisters) is acknowledging it. We're all meeting today to celebrate his birthday and do our family Christmas. I guess it's easier to forget things, but I've always remembered it alone. Not sure how it will go today -- there's still very thinly veiled anger about his passing. Mom's still stuck in that stage of grief. Everything in it's own time, right?
Happy 2010 -- it's a fresh new year, free of blemishes and mistakes! :)

Allison - I think Meatwad would consider 2009 a very bad year but at least the year is ending on a good note for you!

Lovey - I hope all that went well.

Christmas is difficult without my mom, but my birthday is moreso. The person who had been with me since months before I was born...gone. That's hard. But yeah, I missed her a lot on Christmas, too.

My thoughts are with you. Losing parents SUCKS.
