It's been a year since my mom passed away and my nephew suddenly passed of a blood clot in his lung that traveled to his heart. He left 7 children from the age 24 to 5 years old...he and I were close like brother and sister. My mom raised him. I was only 5 years old when he was born. We spent many holidays together. Every Christmas Eve since his oldest was a baby, he had me and my husband over for dinner and movies with his kids, my great-nieces and nephews. We had so much fun. I miss my mom too. She loved us so much...I am trying to comfort his oldest kids...but it's tough because I'm sad myself. I want to do something in his honor so we can celebrate his life. It's really hard especially now around the holidays. My nephew and my mom loved Christmas! My dad passed away first in 2010. I miss him too. He always told me no one comes this way to stay...it's still hard when they leave though. Trying to keep it together...I will see them again one day...still healing, praying, and crying.

I miss my mom

Thought about calling her...boy that feeling...it's rough.
