Very Glad to See December end

Christmas always seems to be associated with alot of stress for most of us, and it sure does for me. There are many events which take place during this month which have really bad memories and tend to make me very sad. For one thing my darling dad died on 12/23/98, after a long, painful illness and cancer, and it has forever changed my view of the holiday.

There have been several significant, unforseen events which were very stressful, and occured in December, in the past several years, and I keep waiting for something to wrong, for "the shoe to drop."

My mother's birthday also is in this month, and we don't live close, so I miss her. She is a 1 year cancer survivor and has had a real challenge learning to adjust to this.

This month just brings up many painful memories, besides the ones listed here, and I will be very glad to see it end. I have cried more times this month than I care to think about.

Thanks for listening.
