About

The Blues

I made this tribute because I'm missing my Dad. Thanksgiving is almost here and I don't know if I'm going to be able to look at my Mom next to that empty seat. My Dad's name was Ernesto Ortiz, he has 5 kids and 14 grandkids and he was a wonderful man .

Soon it will be Christmas. I can't believe he's been gone for almost an entire year. I want to remember my Dad for the holidays and I want my kids to keep the tradition of this memorial alive. If you've got someone you want to remember feel free to add your memory to this tribute or join my group and we can come up with some good traditions together.

Love and Thanks, Melina.

My Memory

Alyosha (Dec 26, 2007)

My father died ten years ago, and my mother died three years ago. Although I have some very caring cousins and friends, I feel intensely lonely at the holidays. The celebrations have become empty for me, no matter how I try to maintain the traditions we shared, and which I miss. We, too, have the tradition of setting an empty place at the Christmas Eve table, for the 'lonely traveller'. My new holiday reality has become an empty table. I really don't know how to handle this all.

My Memory

This year my husband and I are spending our Christmas away from family and loved ones as we have moved away from the UK on our retirement. But we will remembering them particlarly my parents who have both passed away, and who are reunited once more.

My thoughts and prayers are with those who may be alone over this holiday period and have nothing but their memories. If you know of anyone like this pay them a visit it would help so much.

He oma, ik ga deze kerst met Melanie en de kinderen samen zijn. Hopelijk komt mama ook nog langs. Ik moest vandaag erg denken waarom ik me druk maakte om zaken, terwijl jij er niet meer bent. Ik hoop dat ik de beheersing heb om vaker aan je te denken als ik weer doordraaf. xxx
