Winter's so decorative and colorful.

The frost designs on the house windows.

Branches of trees and bushes coated in white.

Icicles dripping water from the sun's warmth.

Christmas lights in various colors almost appear psychedelic at night.

You get so cold your skin changes colors.

And your dogs color your snow covered lawn in yellow.

I've had so many childhood memories of Christmas.  For some reason they just keep swirling out of my memory and into my days.

And thank you for the nice complements.  

Putting things into messages like this has helped me so much, and it's great having friends like you to share those messages with!

We'll all look back some day and see how far we have all come, and keep going...and find happiness...somehow and someday!

Wishing you peace.  

Your Good Grieving friend,

Michael

Michael,

I love your outlook on life your little things you share always make me smile, thanks for sharing. It's funny I've never really been that into Christmas, I always have thought people go overboard and losing sight of the true meaning. But this year all my neighbors have decorations up. It truly is beautiful I love all the lights! I'm glad some people feel like celebrating. My kids are definitely excited, I hope you have the best holiday you can

Melissa

"Kali I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal. Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
