I'll be missing my Dad for the first time. He past away this year and it already feels strange without him. Thank you all for your kind and generous comments. Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
Are you missing someone this Christmas Season?

My first girlfriend. She died a week before Christmas. We were living on the streets at the time, I was 18 and she was 15 & didn't want to go back into the Foster care system. I got into a fight with some college kids and ended up in County jail for the weekend, I got out Monday morning and she was gone, I searched the whole city for her and nobody had saw her. She was found a few weeks later naked in the dirty river. The coroner said that she had been beaten and strangled to death. Beaten so hard her left eye socket was shattered, she had a broken jaw, she had broke ribs and fractured bones in her legs. Coroner said it was likely she had been sexually assaulted. They never caught anyone for it.
I left for the army that week which had been our plan as soon as she turned 16 so we could get married and start a life together, start a family. I've had other girlfriend's since but just not the same.
Several people, coach... One was my first cousin, that I was very close to since I was an early teen...13-14... She died last year of coronary heart disease.
She said she 'Was not afraid of dying" ... when she found about her serious condition... I would say to her:
..."I WISH YOU HAD BEEN AFRAID OF DYING... OR AT LEAST 'BEEN AFRAID OF NOT LIVING ANY MORE"
I'M NOT AFRAID OF DYING EITHER COACH,,,,,,, I AM TERRIFIED OF NOT LIVING ANY LONGER... TALKING TO YOU GUYS AND GIRLS ON GAG IS SOMETHING I LOOK FORWARD TO EVERY DAY... ALONG WITH MY YOGA,,,,,,,,,,, MY VIOLIN AND PIANO LESSONS... MY CHURCH...
I WISH MORE OF MY FRIENDS WERE... MORE AFRAID OF NOT LIVING ANY MORE... AND MAYBE THEY WOULD LIVE DIFFERENTLY... THANKS COACH,
To my Sweetheart Patrick John who I called Patty most of the time. Patrick died suddenly two months ago.
I was so looking forward to decorating our place for Christmas. In August we had a conversation about it and you said you couldn't wait and it's your favorite time of the year. But you died two months ago and we never got to put up the decorations like last time. Remember the year we put up Halloween and Christmas decorations up at the same time? Lights everywhere 🎃 🌲⛄❄️
I don't know what to do with myself anymore. And now I have to put on my big girl panties and get strength to go through the Christmas holidays without you. How will I do that without you Patty? We waited three years to be together again. I thought it would last forever. But nope - just 1-1/2 years living together in our 7 years of love.
This is sad to read. I'm sorry this happened. I don't know what else to say about this except for they would probably want you to move on and be happy but i know that is hard to do. Nobody can ever replace. If you don't want to move on you can always dedicate your life to remembering and honoring the person you love and lost. Like celebrating their birthdays, keeping their personal items around you, cooking things they enjoyed, going places they liked to go, hanging them lights in their honor, or anything else you can think of. I'm sure you get the picture. It sounds crazy but is it? Besides, life is crazy anyways if you think about it.
@Socaljp Thank you for your kind and thoughtful words. To be honest, I don't think I will ever be happy again. No one could make me laugh like he did, and I was just as comical right back at him. I had one of those days yesterday where I kept finding things of his and remembering back when... It's just too sad and overwhelming. I'm too worried how I'll pay my rent now and pay my bills without the money he provided each month. They raise the rent $100 every 10 months for my little apartment. I don't want to be homeless. I remember him always telling me "I won't ever let you be homeless. I'm your protector and I'll protect you". But now I have all those worries again. So, I have too much on my mind to try to find happiness. But thank you!
I lost one of my best friends this year in an accident in Switzerland. I miss her a lot and it’s been a tradition to spend Christmas Eve at her place and Christmas Day with our families. Since I don’t celebrate Christmas, it was just nice to spend the day eating food with company of friends since we were young. It sucks that this year will be the first since 2009 that we don’t.
I don’t miss my holiday friends anymore because it’s been so long since our friendship ended and we usually have family we party with in place of my old childhood friends.
My best friend moved to North Carolina three years. We have just sent a few emails to each other. We never even got to say goodbye because of covid. I miss him.
I do. And I do all the time, not only during the Christmas.
I miss my mom. We werent very agreeable with each other, lol. But still, we shared a lot together. I would tell her, that I miss her. And that my youngest is OK. That the worst is behind us and my kid has a great life awaiting her.
