insert whine here:

[nilchance]

I love my family, I needed to be here for my brother and dad on the first mom-less Christmas, everyone is behaving well (being very careful about my shoulder and my limits), I know I'm privileged to be able to fly down and see them.

However: ohgod I miss my wife and my cats and my bed.

*emo panda*

its a good thing you do, i know how hard it is to be missing a parent the holdiay season and i am sure you being there makes it a little easier

Agrees with ymmy12.

But also get the missing your wife bit. When my own mum passed (just before Christmas that year) the hubby and I were still new-ish as a couple, though we'd known each other for a few years, and boy did I miss him and need him at that time. So *hugs and good thoughts*.

Hey there, best wishes for this season, both happy and sad. No doubt missed by your beautiful wife and cats, too! Look after yourself as well. *hugs - oops, no, shoulder! waves instead*

I miss you, too. And I wish I could have come with you!

But it'll only be 5 days?
