| questioning my sanity  Join Date: Aug 2002 Location: Oregon Posts: 14,776  | tough days.... tomorrow is 6 months...Monday I was Christmas shopping with a girlfriend and I was in tears a good portion of the morning. The realization of doing Christmas alone hit me hard...the realization that Mark is not taking David shopping for those "secret gifts" for Mom and that Mark will not be doing his shopping for us either...it all hit and has been overwhelming.  I have plenty of offers for Christmas eve and Christmas Day, unfortunately I can't get my brain wrapped around any of them...and I feel so bad because I want this to be Christmas for David.  for my strength |

| Registered User Join Date: Sep 2002 Posts: 2,869 | I know it hurts Marissa and if I could, I'd gladly take all your hurt away. But rest assured that whatever you do, while this will be a different Christmas for both you and David, that it will still be Christmas for David and for you, too. You just have to believe, don't put any expectations on the day, or on yourself and realize that in the end, it will all work out. Yes, there will be tears and yes, you will miss Mark and yes, everything is going to be different and nothing will ever be the same again. But Mark loves you and you and David are still family, and that's what makes Christmas. I wish I could be there to hug you and hold you and let you know how loved you are. I wish I could be there and be Santa and make all your dreams come true, but I can't, but just wait until we are at Disneyland, we'll have so much fun! And then I can hug you and then I can hold you and then I can let you know how loved you are. Until Then. Pooh |

| Government Wife | I was thinking of you earlier. Many prayers and comfort for you and David. I know that this is unbelievably hard. Trust in the Lord and lean on Him. (That is all that got my husband through the passing of his mother many years ago.) |
