The holidays can be a very lonely and difficult time for someone who has lost a loved one. I have lost a few people near and dear to my heart and I would do anything to just get five more minutes with them. Sure the holidays are not what they used to be, but I know that my lost loved ones would not want me to mope around. I was always told to try and make the best of things. I still have some family left and my boyfriend and his family who are like my own. While I will always miss my family who have passed on, I will always remember them while trying to make the best out of the holiday season.
