A friends mother died this week and the funeral is tomorrow.
This got me thinking about the year my mother died. January 2 it will be nine years. The first few years were the hardest, as we rushed her to the hospital on Christmas eve and then brought her home late Christmas day so she could open presents with the kids. She died at home, but those next few days were hell. We had the funeral on the 5th as my birthday is on the 6th and the family didn't want to ruin my birthday. I think it was already ruined.
It took many years before I celebrated the holidays at all.
So anyway... I've been thinking about that.
