Hug your loved ones, folks.

Exactly, time heals all wounds but not completely. Just gets easier to get by year after year. The sadness and loss/missing them never goes away.
This. It gets "easier' only in the sense you can carry it better. But this time of year, or birthdays/anniversaries/important dates, that loss is there and those days....well, they suck.
Hugs to everyone man.
Lost a brother in 1967, 9 years old in a boating accident on the Green River, my DAD, never got over it, always blamed himself for it, I watched him till he passed away, always blaming himself! Now 50 years later, lost a grandson age 13 October 17, 2021 my sister walked into church, told us we had to leave, told outside what had happened, the scream my wife let out still haunts me. I am now watching my son go through what my DAD went through! Yes, hug your loved ones, tell them that you love them, because you may never get that second chance!!
Oh my goodness!!!! I am so very sorry for your loss. You are so right. You just never know. My mom (not only my mom, but best friend and hero) and I had this thing we would do. Every phone call we always ended with "I love you" and we did the same at the end of every visit, as well. We both said that if something were to happen, that would be what we would want to be the last thing we said to each other. We did that for over 40 years. every phone call and every visit.
SempeeFi, you, and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers now and during the holiday season. Take care.😥

Sending you lots of love and hugs my friend

I closed my mom almost every night when I was either out of town or in college. At the time I thought it was a bit silly, but man, I, glad she insisted.
Sorry for your loss, losing someone this time of year is sad. Prayers for all the family in Jesus name. Just went to the funeral of one of my childhood friend today. He was 80 and had a beautiful family. He passed one day before his wife's birthday. He was a very good Christian man.
Have they talked to you about having an ablazion? My friend had this done and it really helped him .
My dad died on my birthday in 1995 and my mom is in a coma right now and is not expected to make it until Christmas.
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your sister SemperFiCat and prayers for your mother and the family MathUK. God Bless you all at this time.
You are 100 percent correct. So sorry you are going thru this at Christmas time. It hits harder at the holidays.
So GD sorry buddy. Watched both my parents pass by their bedside. My Christmases have never been the same. Hug your loved ones tight tonight.
Sir it has definitely been rough on you. I’m not sure most could make it through it. Respect and prayers.
So sorry for your loss. Prayers for your family. Losing a parent at such a young age is so devastating.
Semperfi my heart goes out to you and all in this thread that have experienced these losses. Christmas is especially difficult for us. Memories and lost possibilities.
I agree that you hold on tight and live in the moment...enjoy the times you have together.
God's peace to all.

Prayers to you friend. I know exactly where you are coming from. I have lost everyone. My parents died a long time ago, 1979 and 1995. All three siblings (three brothers) are gone. The last in 2011. All aunts and uncles. I am the oldest in the family left. The worst part of getting older is having family members and friends pass away. The last, and worst was the passing of my wife of 46 years almost three months ago. She was my soul mate and I loved her so dearly. It is going to be a long time for me to get on with my life I miss her so badly. Yesterday was our anniversary and it was a terrible day. My children helped me get through it.
So your advice is well taken. I would likewise advise everyone to tell your family members how much you love them and your close friends how much you appreciate and love them. You never know just when they will be called home and you won't get another chance to do so.

So sorry to hear about your loss OP. Totally agree don't take life for granted. Things can happen without notice and they're gone. 😢
