Plans for the Holidays?

[beautifuldisaster486]

Just wondering if anyone out there has "new" plans this year....maybe a new marriage starting new traditions, new baby, ect ect, just anyone out there doing something different this year?

I plan to go home this year...it will be the first Christmas I have gone back since I left in May 2005. I have taken 5 days off of work, basically the days that I have out of school, I took off from work and plan to head home. I am hoping that I get to spend time with my mom, 2 brothers and one of my aunts, and of course all of my neices and nephews. If I get to acheive all of that, that will be the best Christmas present ever. So right now, I am just praying that I can tie the ends together here so I can afford to go home...

Swampy hopes to see his mom for Chirstmas, and his new niece. But given the weather forecast, he will probably spend Christmas in some airport watching CNN while the winter storm clears.

Oh well, Swampy would far rather that airlines fly safe than that they fly on time.

Perhaps you could do something this Christmas to honor your friend ? You could light a candle and/or make a Christmas ornament (or purchase one).

I tried to send you a note so I leave you with some fresh cookies but my note didn't go through.

I can understand the guilt, but you're right there was nothing you could have done.  I'm glad you are able to feel him!  I believe like you in the after life and believe our loved ones are there waiting for us!  :)

Now, good luck getting the spaceship out from under all that snow!  LMAO!!!!!

Can I send you a christmas note? Some hot chocolate and some warm cookies, until you can get your spaceship working?

Thanks it took many yrs for me to get over what had happened and to witness it. I still have flashbacks but I cope pretty good now. Let me tell you something I dont care what anyone says if you find yourself in a situation like that remember if all goes wrong it was not your fault it took many yrs for me to realize that I blamed myself for so long and I kept it in. I never found happiness until I went to his grave site and just sat there and talked it felt like he was right there with me. I really believe in the after life and there presence. I still feel guilty at times but I know it wasnt my fault some people cant cope with this life and I have excepted he was just one of those guys.

P.S. The spaceship got lost in the blizzard I am trying to track its GPS system to get its location right now its under 20 ft of snow LMAO
