Christmas blues

Another lump in my throat today. Seeing the Christmas goods flooding the shops.
I thought about all the people with sadness in their lives that must feel exactly the same as me at this time of year.

Just the two of us for Christmas this year. Easier to manage the bail conditions. :(
I felt over come with emotions in the shops the other day for similar reasons. I was having a low day and thought about how much sadness I have in me that I can't/don't show and digging deep to be strong. It does really help me appreciate and look forward to the smallest things though.
Christmas is bitter sweet for me - it'll be just under a year until he's out. There feels like something significant about that.

Sending lots of love to you ladies tonight xxxx
As I said the thoughts of sadness I felt weren't just for me - it was of perhaps people that are ill, suffered the loss of a loved one, the lonely, the homeless, families struggling to afford a nice Christmas....
And there it is - the beginning of November reminding you everywhere you go. Not being a misery but when this happens In your life you develop a less selfish attitude and really feel for other people who could be quietly suffering in their lives. At that -perhaps a whole lot worse than I am!

I've struggled a lot emotionally with it now coming closer to Christmas. Christmas has always been my favourite time of year and I've always been one for going all out with the decorations, visiting Christmas markets, going to Christmas lights ect. But this year I feel so lost, so upset. I know my partner will be moving away soon which means I won't see a lot of him and we won't be spending Christmas together. I know this Christmas is going to be miserable and for the first time in my life I'm dreading Christmas rather than looking forward to it. Can't wait for it to be over.
Ah bless you. This is my third Christmas I've had speaking to my son in prison. It's just not the same, as old as the big lump is - I miss seeing him opening his cheesy presents and rolling on the floor (with pretend excitement) as he discovers a pack of socks (his magnificent sense of humour)......
