I miss Her


Today was a hard day for me. I missed my grandmother more today than ever. I have been thinking about her so much. During this time of year my grandmother always got me to come to her house and fill out her Christmas Cards for her. She thought I wrote better than she did, so she always got me to address them for her. I was thinking about that today and it was so hard. I miss her so much.
My mom has also had a hard time this month. Mom said she was cleaning out a drawer the other day and she came across something of my grandmothers and mom said she sit there and cried because she missed her so bad. That is the way I have been today. I miss her smile, I miss her sweet hands, I miss her smell, I miss her hugs and kisses, I just miss her so much. My grandmother always smelled so good. She would wear Avon Skin so soft. Every time I smell that it reminds me of my grandmother. I wish so bad she was here with us.
I was able to make it pretty good through Thanksgiving, but I just don't know how we can make it through Christmas. There is so many memories.

I'm sorry for you. I know It's so hard, It happens to me about my grandmother too. I hope you can have a nice Christmas even thought It's hard. When you want to talk you know I'm here, many hugs,
Melanie

Hey Denna, I've been thinking of you. I wish I could spend sometime with you on Christmas, maybe someday.
Many hugs to you and to the girls.

P.S: yesterday when you talked on the chat I was not there, I was at Aida's house, we saw what you wrote later but you were already gone (and yeah I know It was 11pm and I was there LOL I stayed till 12 am LOL).

I am sorry for your sadness, try to think about one day in Eternity you will spend many Christmas's together, and her Christmas this year is so extra special being with our Savior. Imagine her smile as she spends Christmas with Jesus this year.
Big Hugs

Denna,
I am so sorry for the loss of your grandmother. I know how much you must miss her. Although my grandmother is still with us, she no longer knows who I am and will never know my sweet Lily Mei. I can totally relate to your feelings of loss. I hope you had a great Christmas with your girls. I know your Grandmother was smiling from heaven.
Love,
Monica

Christmas can be so hard at times when you've lost a greatly loved one like your grandmother. It is a very reflective time and I understand your emotion. Though my loss happened 12 years ago, I still miss my father, but like Connie said, our loved ones are getting to spend Christmas with Jesus. There is nothing better than that!
Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog, by the way!
Blessings to your beautiful family!

I totally understand Denna and I am sorry.
I miss my grandmother so much and the holidays are the hardest. It was even more difficult when we went to my home town to visit extended family last week. I know she was with us in spirit, but I sure would love to have another hug from her.
