But you are right at the way our family personality keeps popping up in ourselves and our kids.<br /><br />It is a wonderful thing to know that family is special, and I pity anyone who doesn't have that strong connection and identity. That was a great post!Ann in the UPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05856961167336069959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011403437449160094.post-20280750640075801842010-11-20T06:23:32.851-06:002010-11-20T06:23:32.851-06:00My Mom died last Thanksgiving, I miss her every si...My Mom died last Thanksgiving, I miss her every single day.

My father has passed away, my mother has remarried. My cousins have split away and do their own things. No more incredible Christmases in CT. <br /><br />I so glad we have our little one to bring the joy of Christmas to us, but I will never forget over 35 years of Christmases spent with family we only saw once a year. I wish my little boy could have been a part of it, but things change and life goes on.Emilyhttp://www.mamasick.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011403437449160094.post-40104019274037411742010-11-19T23:07:00.059-06:002010-11-19T23:07:00.059-06:00I had not read this one and I'm grateful that ...I had not read this one and I'm grateful that you linked it in your SS thing.<br /><br />This post is like the Christmas spirit.
