Shellbe, I understand completely because this is the first year we will be facing the holidays without my father. He died Memorial day weekend and he was always the center of our holidays. While the rest of the family will be celebrating Thanksgiving, my Mother, brother, daughter and me will be going elsewhere. The thought of sitting and giving thanks is unthinkable. As for Christmas, there will be none this year. I can't even imagine what it is going to be like. The past 5 months have been heartbreaking. He shouldn't have died but because of a doctor's neglect, they sent him home and he died. I can't forgive them. I just want to skip the next couple of months.
