And so this is Christmas -

First of all I really need to apologize to each and all of you for my absence from the group. I have been very ill these last few months and between hospital stays, Dr visits and home nursing care I've just not had a lot of energy to post.
I have been reading the group though and I want you all to know that there isn't a day goes by that I don't think of you all and pray for peace for all of us.
Christmas can be so hard, can't it?
My sincere wish is that today, as all days you take a few moments to reflect on all that is good in your lives, the memories, the joyous times you had with loved ones gone.
Let the joy and the grief soothe your soul. Reach out if the pain is unbearable. Reach out if the joy overflows and you have some to spare.

Thank you all for looking after each other this past year. Welcome to the newest of us here.
You've found a place with people who have traveled a similar path, a group no one really wants to join. But, here we are.
Merry Christmas friends.
All my love to each of you.
