Holidays are always the hardest time for me...I remember the old days and good times when I was a youngster..before DYFS took me away from my family. Am I the only one who feels like this around the holidays? Holidays always make me sad...no family around. Am I weird with this?

Kim -

I miss my family, who have all passed on, on holidays too.

You're not alone.

Hugs,

EJ

AWWW ((((((HUGS TO ALL)))))) Holidays are just other days in the calendar year.... what makes them special is how YOU make these special. Try making new traditions of your own for the holiday, if you can't continue family traditions. Do something good for yourself on each holiday! TC

what helps my hubby and me through the holidays is doing for others, I run a support center as some of you know and we are having Easter Dinner for about 8 ppl who have nowhere else to go
