It's just not supposed to be like this

Thank you all so much.

I suppose I should be used to this by now. January 27th is the 7th anniversary of Mom's passing. December isn't usually this hard, but January always is difficult. And Ron's passing really hit me today. I'm not really sure why, except that he's always been around for as long as I can remember. Although I can't know for sure, I'm pretty sure he played Santa for my sister and I at least a time or two when we were little, particularly the year I had Scarlet Fever on Christmas Eve. It's a pretty special memory for me. I think it's a cumulative effect, too. So so much, for so many people...

Hugs from our crew

I can understand, Xmas has never been the same since my mother passed on.
i really no longer look forward to this time of year.

take care,you are in my thoughts and prayers

sending hugs and vibes your way

Sending hugs and good vibes your way Heidi.

I just want to let you know that you as well as all of your loved ones are in my prayers. (((vibes)))

Im thinking of you all Heidi. There is never a good time for members of your family or friends to pass on, but Christmas always makes it harder to deal with.

You have had so much to deal with in such a short space of time that you must just be overwhelmed. I hope you find some extra strength to cope with it all and have the support you need right now. Love and hugs from here.

Even though they don't know that they have many people thinking of them right now, it's sure nice to know that they do. Thank you all.

Unfortunately I have 2 more to add. Another of my co-workers lost his best friend from childhood just before Christmas, and couldn't even make it down to the memorial (he lives in the mountains) because of Storm #2. To add to that, his neighbor passed away just before New Year's.

Like my friend/supervisor Kim said today when I told her about Ron, I really hope this isn't a sign of how this year is going to go.
