Bah Hum Bug

I really hate the holidays. For the last few years every Christmas someone I know has passed away. Last year it was my mom's neighbor who I had known since I was 12. She died on Christmas Eve, the year before my dad on Dec. 22, the year before that my mom's brother (forget the date but it was at Christmas). Now I hear of another family member who is not doing well. My Aunt in South Carolina is in the hospital in intensive care. She is bleeding from her lungs. She had heart surgery last week and they seem to think this is a complication from that. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Also I am not sure how many of you read Roc Rebel Granny, but her latest post is about her daughter Carol who is dying of cancer. She doesn't have much time left. It may be a matter of days or at the most weeks. Please remember her also. Such sadness at what should be a joyous season
