Another family dinner without our son. (thanksgiving in Canada) That is when it is the hardest, when we are all together without him. he was always the life of our gatherings. It is always wonderful to see the little grandchildren playing with their cousins, but it really brings it home in a hard way. We always used to have the family dinners here at our house, but we have not since his passing. Our second oldest, our daughter has been doing them at her house. It makes it a little easier, but not much. There are just too many "new normal"s in my life and I do not like it. Our daughter makes an amazing turkey dinner, it was really good. I baked 2 pumpkin and 1 apple pie, and she made butter tarts. I can't breathe!!
Oh Janet, I am so sorry. I can only imagine how hard that is. the loss of a child is so different from any other. Know that my heart and prayers are with you. May God bring you the peace you need and deserve.
