I spent the holidays with my wife and her family. They are all great people who have accepted me unconditionally, but this was a difficult Christmas. My folks both passed away this year. My dad on March 13, and my mom on April 15. In addition, an aunt passed away in Feb., and my brother and his family are stationed in Japan. It was a very difficult Christmas (and Thanksgiving), to say the least. I am thankful for the people I still have: my wife and her family, my daughter, and also the great people here on the Crew who share their experiences and feelings without reservation. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2000 Report Share Posted December 27, 2000 Preeti and , It must be so painful to see your Mom with Alzheimers and unable to recognize you. Your email was so touching, genuine, and beautiful. My sympathy to you , so much to go through losing both your parents, nearly at once. My mother passed away a few years ago but she was very much on my mind at this time of year. There are " things " in my place that always serve as reminders of her. Christmas can be so diificult!
