The leaves are all off the trees in our back yard, blown into a pile and bagged up for the city to take them away for another year. All my Halloween decorations are getting ready to go back up into the attic for another year, and the Christmas music has started on the T.V. music channels. Aahhhh, it's that time of year again where we all get to enjoy the Holidays with family and friends. Loved ones have passed on and the Holidays aren't what they used to be and will never be again. I think that is the time when we think about them the most. I often think about my family members that have passed on from my Mother to Uncles and Grandpas and Grandmas and friends. I know that they are in a better place and all. I just feel alittle lost this time of year I really don't know why, I guess it is just that for some unknown reason you think about them this time of year. I guess maybe the only time that you did get to see some of them was at the Holiday's. I think about my kids and what they will turn out to be like and hope and pray that I have instilled in them good values and morals. I know that they would be okay without me, but I know how it feels to loose a parent and what loss you feel and the ache in your heart that NEVER goes away. I hope that you spend time with those that you love and hold dear to you. Take time to listen to your kids or grand kids and really truly listen with your heart. Hold these times near to your heart, take them in and enjoy them while you can because you never know when you won't be able to again.
May the Holidays remain true and dear to your hearts this season,
Lori
