I know how this poor piggy feels, have plenty of days like this :)
Tomorrow is my granddaughter third birthday...where has the time gone ?
It is also the anniversary of my nephew Devin's birth and death...his umbilical cord ripped and he didn't survive his birth, he would have been 9 this year. I been thinking about birth and death a lot lately. My Niece had a miscarriage two weeks ago , my FIL is not doing well and my step moms dad probably will not survive this week. Patrick would have made his preparations to come home right now and last week while Christmas shopping i seen a baby with the same beautiful strawberry blond hair Patrick had as a baby, i almost lost it right there in the middle of the mall.
I'm so grateful for my beautiful granddaughters and the joy they bring me and they remind me every day that life is worth living and life does go on.
I just wish i could shake this sad mood i'm in...maybe once it stops being so unseasonable warm and we finally get some snow. The weather seems to be just gloomy and gray and you all know how much i love snow...i find the white quiet soothing.
But tomorrow we will celebrate Renee ,the gorgeous, funny , preciousness little girl that i hope will be in my life till the end of my days.

Oh dear, I do know how you feel. At this time of the year, I too begin thinking about birth and death. On Thursday, my son was cleaning out some of his things and came across a book he had bought about childcare when his ex was pregnant. Sadly, she aborted the child because her mother wanted her to, and they broke up. It was a boy and he would have been 9 years old, and then, not too long ago, my youngest son's girl lost a child.
I've yet to become a grandmother.
Blessings to Renee and Happy Birthday to that precious child.

I'm sorry that you're having a tough time right now. For your sake I do hope it snows quickly. It will be so soothing. It's so sad to be confronted with death and memories of it. I live with the memories of it every day too. I do congratulate you with your granddaughter's birthday. That's something to be happy about anyway. XOX
I've never had the pleasure of meeting that piggy before. ;0) CUTE
Gabi,
I know it doesn't get easier, but I hope it gets better for you.
Loosing someone thst is elderly and has lived a Full Life can be expected, unlike those babies and your son Patrick.
(((hugs)))Pat
I find Christmas can be very sad and lonely when we have lost loved ones. Memories pop up with every baking cookie smell and Christmas song. It is so hard, hang in there sweetie we will begin a new year soon and hopefully it will be filled with love and happiness.
......:-)Hugs
Hugs to you as you deal with the Circle of Life. Have fun at Renee's party, the little sweetie.
P.S. Stealing that video. It's hilarious!
Sending you happy vibes to help navigate the tough moments. I felt every word here. Know you're not alone - in both loss and in the ability to see the light of hope.
It's such a tough time of year for so many struggling with loss. I wish you snow, smiles and happy memories. I'm sending a hug your way.
I know you know this...but "but with birth.....death eventually comes". It doesn't make it any easier though to deal with the sadness. Take care of yourself during this holiday season and give that precious baby lots and lots of hugs.
