Right on

I miss my good old grandad (and of course my grandmother and my other grandad) cos when we were kids we would always go over to my grandparents house and my grandad cooked the BEST roast dinner you ever had... Such a top bloke and I miss him dearly (and not just for the food )

RIP to all those we have loved and lost

a lad i know from moto-x, he's only 15, real nice lad, his mum left when he was born, his dad brought him up on his own, a couple of weeks ago his dad had a bad headache for a few days, ended up going to the hospital, after a couple of hours they declared he had a brain tumor, he died that night he was only 39.
its good to enjoy Christmas but also to spare a thought for others.

The thoughts of lost ones are always with us, especially at this time of year. A family member passed at the age of 97 on the 22nd and funeral is on Friday. We all had a drink at lunch time in memory of her and other family we have lost.

I lost my dad when I was 6, the only Christmas I remember having with my parents was 1985 and we were in Oman, like most days I am always thinking of him but Christmas being a huge event for families is a time I think about him a lot more.

I have always liked to believe that our lost ones will be having a party of their own somewhere

I always reflect at this tiume of year for those passed away, and for those in danger now, absolute respect to all our armed forces and allies, as well as loved ones gone before.
My first g/f died of cancer aged 16, (on her birthday), I was holding her hand when she died, very hard this time of year, and have a daughter I have never seen since three weeks old, now 14.
