This will be my fifth year, without my mom (ovarian cancer 3/22/10, she was 55.)
My best friend from childhood, this will,be her 2nd year without her mom (breast cancer survivor, spread to bone cancer). My friend, myself, and her sisters, opted to virtually share lobster, our mom's favs.. Lobster roll for me. Mom and I used to have those, every Christmas Eve, with my gram and uncle. Seafood was fam tradition. (farmers, so growing up, something different than what was there). One of my friends, sisters, lives in another part of the country, my friend and I,, two states apart. So, virtually share lobster. As, we talk of our moms being in heaven, enjoying our meal.
This weekend, I will *gulp*, visit my dad, with stepmom, she just lost her 93 yr old mom, natural causes, a couple weeks ago. Not sure, what I can bring, but she invited me, first Thanksgiving after my mom passed.

Reaching out to others, is a good idea.

I find it a mixed emotions day, not having my mom, and being a mom.

My dad tells me, his mom closed down for this holiday, she lost her mom at 16.

She's been gone, dads mom, since 2006. I don't know how men take this holiday, compared to women.
