The Posetteforever diary - A sad day tomorrow

Post subject: A sad day tomorrow
Tomorrow, December 24th is a sad day for me. It will be another
<br />
anniversary of my father's death. He died on December 24th, 1989
<br />
in hospital after suffering for 20 days. On December 31 oth that year,
<br />
my uncle slumped over in his chair and died of a heart attack. One
<br />
week later, a childhood friend of mine dropped dead on the ice while
<br />
playing hockey. He was 37.
<br />
Today my uncle in Montreal is in the Intensive Care Unit. He had
<br />
a stroke while undergoing an operation to remove a diseased portion
<br />
of his small intestine. He is now paralyzed on the right side of his body.
<br />
<br />
My grandmother (my father's mother) was buried on December 25th
<br />
a long time ago and an aunt (father's sister) died close to Christmas
<br />
as well. I almost think that we are cursed when December comes along.
<br />
<br />
It is not a happy time for me, but I try to make the best of it. I have
<br />
moved on, concerning my father but I cannot forget the twenty days
<br />
that I watched him die.

I'm sorry Den, sending you a big christmas hug!! I know the feeling. I was very close to my grand parents (my mother parents). The both died when i was a child. My grand father died on december 14 and the following year my grand mother died on december 1. They both died young, from cancer.

Thanks for the kind words Tormentor and TdaC
<br />
Also, thanks for the big hug TdaC...Micky becomes concerned when
<br />
younger women "hug" me... <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> ...especially Swedish women <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
<br />
(Just kidding ... <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> )
<br />
<br />
Although it is sad, I still have my mother this Christmas. She might have
<br />
died at the end of April of this year when she began to show signs that she
<br />
was going to have a heart attack.
<br />
Fortunately she was only a few minutes away from a nearby hospital and
<br />
my sister and brother-in-law rushed here there. The ER doctors were able
<br />
to prevent a heart attack. She had a triple bypass the following week and made
<br />
a full recovery. She was over last night for a nice dinner. Just three of us.
<br />
Micky, myself and my mom.
<br />
Today we are going to her home for a Christmas Eve dinner.
<br />
<br />
I will be fine, but my Christmas' will always have a sad time for them.
<br />
Some of you have similar sadness as well.
<br />
<br />
Don't worry, I will be fine. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" alt="" /> See, I'm smiling

It was tough for me that year too.
<br />
<br />
I will just walk around with my reindeer antlers that have mistletoe
<br />
stuck on them and have Den kiss me all day <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/heartbeat.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/heartbeat.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/heartbeat.gif" alt="" />

That should cheer him up
<br />
<br />
Wishing everyone the very best

<br />

It will be a long day today. My mother got a call at 6:30AM our time saying that my uncle John was near death.
<br />
At 9:05AM he passed away
<br />
<br />
Thanks to everyone here for their kindness and understanding.

I'm really sorry Den. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/sad.gif" alt="" />

On Den's behalf I would like to express my thanks to you all
<br />
for your concern.
<br />
I can see why he likes this place better than any other one.
<br />
It may be small but it isn't full of people with a "who could care less"
<br />
attitude for things that really matter.
<br />
<br />
It certainly was sad yesterday, but we did our best to have a nice
<br />
day. I don't think that Den will have much interest in Christmas for
<br />
a long time and I can understand that.
<br />
<br />
Thanks again
<br />
<br />
Got my picture changed today as you can see

Ya it's much more fun to treat people with respect then beating them down. Life does that without any help from us! Den is a big part here and I enjoy his humor lots!
