When it is over. Even the simplest things, like buying cards, is a stark reminder of who is no longer there anymore. I no longer need cards for my grandparents, my father, sister or brother, and the most special lady to have ever come into my life
When looking for a card for my Mother and Aunt, all of those are plenty, yet,try finding a Christmas card to Mother, as they all seem to say Mom, my Mother hates being called “Mom”.
Now I did find a little bit of joy on the card front this year, as I lady in a facebook group I’m in, about the county I reside in asked to if a few people would mind sending Christmas cards to the 4 children she recently adopted. She didn’t ask for money or any gifts,just cards addressed to the 4 kids. So I did that, and before I sealed the envelopes, I added cash to each card, so they would at least have that, plus I sent her a card so she would not be left out. You see, she was also adopted as a youth so she understands better than most of us, what means to feel like, especially in a new situation where no one knows them.
