I remember big family gatherings during the holidays, seems so long ago.

The good thing is...even though loved ones may be gone, as long as we have those wonderful memories, they're never really gone.

I have one parent left, no grandparents. Your post made me think a lot about the holidays to come. Kids are up and do their own things, or live two far away. It's no longer a giant rib roast at dad's house for Christmas. I roll with it the best I can. And enjoy what i do have. I lost a child when i was in my 20's, during childbirth. It was on Dec 22...I missed about 5 years of Christmas after that, cause it just didn't feel like a celebration. then I got married and had more kids.. Life moves on, with or without us.

All the traditions are long gone, and the memories, some good and some bad, are fading. I do remember going downtown after Thanksgiving to see all the vibrant decorations in the store windows, watching neighbor hoods light up. Now it seems everyone is in a competition to see how many inflatables they can put in their yard. I will probably work through the holidays this year.

We need to have those family gatherings because we lose family when we least expect to. Make memories today or tomorrow there will be nothing to remember. Lost loved ones live on through our memories of them.

I am in no rush to take that long sleep....I don't believe in a here after either...it will be just,,,nothing...but see,,,I am going to live so long the medical industry will be able to replace all the failing organs...and be immortal and basically have a rejuvenated body.... I will be making new memories and having fun...got to be positive about this stuff. I have tons of family I hardly see...although I have been connecting back with the maternal side of my families, don't see much of the paternal siblings but when we get together it is like old home time. FB helps with being connected too. I had a messed up divorced family life as a child..I got most of the Aunts still and cousins. No one left that parented me. I hope you have a good Thanksgiving holiday.
