Dennis Swartz Very sorry to hear about your wife's passing. My Mother passed away in 2012 and I had spent every Christmas at my parents house - whether in the USA or in London - with them. These past few Christmases Suzanne and I have spent with my Dad, either at our house, or at a good friends house, depending on who is cooking Christmas Dinner that year. I'm happy to hear that you were able to spend Christmas with others this year.

Family all weekend, friends last night, not so alone with my dog today, as my bride is working a flight from New York to LA. I'm blessed and actually happy to have today to be alone and reflect. I'm off to the beach to walk my companion: Peroni. The days are long, the years are short, we're blessed to share our lives with loves, loved ones & friends, some go before us, but they are always with us. Merry Christmas Dennis Swartz !

I am sorry that you lost your wife 4 years ago. I agree holidays are not always merry for everyone. We miss the ones we lost and the pain is always there more so during the holidays.

We are blessed to be able to spend it with family and were able to help others who don't have family by donating presents to them. So glad that this year you have found someone you would like to share it with and that hopefully brings you comfort. Merry Christmas Dennis

Dennis Swartz a very Merry Christmas to you too! I lost my husband at Christmas when I was 30 and I wanted nothing other than to stay in bed and pull the covers up over my head. I'm happy to hear that your pain is lessening and that you'll be able to have pleasant memories replace the pain eventually.
Our Christmas was different this year with one brother terminally ill and another choosing to finally enter Detox on the 23rd. God giving with one hand and taking away with the other! We continue to plan for the worst and hope for the best.
My wish is that 2016 be a lighter and happier year for all.

Dennis,
We understand, it is hard at times like these. We spent it together, I have no family left, and next month we are going to spend time with Ron's family. For us, we try to maintain the Christmas spirit year round. A

Dennis I am so sorry I am sorry you are in Columbus. You could have joined us. I had my two cousins and their families, two grandfathers over 90, my son and his wife and 3 month old, my son's in laws, my daughter - we had 17 for dinner and it was chaos personified

Good morning, I'm sorry Dennis. That is very painful. We served food at a local shelter during the day.

Special holidays are very hard for many after someone close dies. Glad you felt able to be with people this year, Dennis.
I shared the day with family and visited a friend who is ill to brighten her day with a meal and some gifts.

Dennis Swartz it's very difficult to live without loved ones - let alone at Christmas time!
I know, it's easy to say 'move on' - not so easy to do!

A VERY Merry Christmas to you!
I'm enjoying a family time. Such a blessing to be surrounded by loved ones as long as I can.
I'm sorry for your loss....

Dennis I am happy that enough time has passed for you to enjoy the season with someone again. May all your coming Christmas's be filled with the joy and warmth of the season again. Sincerely, Mark
PS - to answer. I spent the day with my girl Halley. It was a quiet day that I enjoyed.

It wasn't all Merry for me. I had a crying spell for my Daughter that is no longer with us, but the rest was spent with family and was just what I needed to chase the blues away.

Merry Christmas Dennis!
I am so sorry to hear about your wifes passing, and happy to hear that you could spend it with people again.
I spend part of this Holiday with family, part alone, and part doing some volunteer work.

Merry Christmas Dennis Swartz Holidays are not easy when you are missing someone so special. I hope this one was better.
My nephew is suffering from depression so we were glad that he came to family brunch. At first he was rather testy with us but gradually calmed down.

Hi Dennis -- I'm sorry for your loss - your question should prompt us all to be reminded of the sadness that can be associated with the holidays.

I'm sorry for your loss, Dennis. The holidays are difficult when you have lost loved ones.
I'm with my boyfriend and we have friends coming over in a bit. It's a good day.

I completely understand the need/desire to be alone and not spend Christmas with anyone. Been there many times. I get it. It seems as though this year you were ready ...

Quiet day here for me. My immediate family went to Florida for the holiday, but we did spend Thanksgiving together. Not one to crash on other peoples family days, I am just chilling and catching up on some TV.

Very sorry for your loss. Time does heal all wounds and it does appear that your wound is slowing healing. Try to enjoy your day. I try to do something for someone in need every chance I get.
