And by remembering those you lost you kept them so very alive and vivid in your heart. Forgetting someone after they're gone is the worst thing anyone can do. Remembering them makes them live on.

When I was a boy I always wondered why my father had difficulty getting into the holiday spirit. When I came of age my mother explained that my father became moody around Christmas because his father had died on Christmas day. On Christmas morning 2001 I placed a long distance telephone call to my dad to wish him a happy holiday. He sounded tense and said that he was on his way to a doctor appointment. On Christmas day? As it turned out my father died later that day, just as his father did on December 25th, 1937! That's one holiday tradition that I can literally live without!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884235015796031442.post-64803467297076950202010-12-12T12:36:28.910+00:002010-12-12T12:36:28.910+00:00I love your comment Odie, "we are not promise...I love your comment Odie, "we are not promised tomorrow."

It is a shock and at the same time lets us know that we are not promised tomorrow and we should make the best of every day we can loving family and friends and being as positive as we can. Hard to do at times but we have to at least try.<br />OdieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920831144240024660noreply@blogger.com
