Hi there Brian... your so right, it brings back memories as my mum went too, 4 weeks before Xmas.. came across this poem, seems apt to how we feel ... hope you don't mind me sharing it ...

Every day without you, since you had to go ....                                                                                                         is like summer without sunshine, and winter without snow ....                                                                               I wish I could just talk to you, there's so much I would say ......                                                                              life has changed so very much, since you went away ....

I miss the bond between us,  and I miss your kind support...                                                                                  your in my mind, and in my heart, and every Christmas thought ....                                                                       I'll always feel you close to me, and though your out of sight .....                                                                          I'll search for you among the stars, that shine on Christmas night   xx

Hi Chriss, 

Thanks for sharing that lovely poem; I dont mind at all. I do think it helps us to talk about how we feel regarding the loss of our loved ones. Take care, sending kind thoughts to all of you, Brian.
