The photo above has nothing to do with post. I found it on Pixabay and thought it was so cute.
Yesterday I received some really sad news. My Uncle had passed away. I don't know how long he had been sick but he passed from covid. I'll wait a few days and then give my aunt a call. I know how I felt when Chuck passed away. I didn't want to talk to anyone.
I had a feeling that covid was going to hit our family sooner or later but I honestly thought it would be my brother. He was out a lot and had all the risk favtors. He was taken from us this year but not from covid.
I know so many of us have gone through a lot this year. I believe this has been the worst year ever for me. Next month will be a year since Bella passed away. I can't believe it's been a year already. Some days it seems like it was just yesterday.
I'm feeling sad this Christmas. I haven't posted a lot because I don't want to bring anyone else down. I did buy an addition to our Christmas village. Chuck would add to it each year. I wanted to add a new house or store to add to the village but I don't remember what we already have. They are all packed up and I have no idea where my brother put them. I'm sure I will find all the decorations for next year.

I wish I could hug you in person Sharon. You have had more than your share of grief this year. I'm sorry to hear about your uncle.
Remember you have all of us here to help you get through the holidays

I am sorry that your family lost a member to covid.
It is hard to believe that it is almost a year since dear Bella passed.
Not adding to your Christmas village will just be a break, you can buy a new piece next year after your heavy grieving for Chuck is over.

I am sorry for your loss, Sharon. I know how you feel. We lost an uncle too from covid. The saddest part is, we were not able to go and pay our last respects personally. :(
