Share a photo to remember lost loved ones this Christmas

[BenS94]

I'm not sure if something like thishas been started as a thread before.

Christmas can be a difficult time for those who have lost a loved one. We lost gran 12/08/2022 aged 100, yes she lived a very long, fruitful life, and we were indeed fortunate to have her around so long, but before deteriorating, she was such a fiercely independent, strong woman, you expect her to be around forever.

So please, as you see fit, share a photograph or a memory of a loved one you're missing this Christmas, like a virtual rememberance as it were.

Here is gran, someone who hated her photograph being taken, but it left me with my favourite photo I've taken of her.

This was the amazing Pat O’Doherty

We teach english conversation to Ukrainians and Pat died about five weeks ago.

She was a women of amazing energy and compassion. It was only after her funeral that we were ,ade aware of what a giving life she had led. We remain in awe of what she accomplished.

Yesterday we had our end of year concert which was dedicated to her.

I think we did her proud, although she is a hard act to follow

RIP Pat. You are much missed

Sadly, I have no photographs of the most amazing person I knew, my mum

She died at a young age (44) and is always missed. Especially at by his time of year (she loved everything about Xmas, especially feeding us to the point of bursting)

Miss you Mam 17th Sep 1952 - 6th March 1997

This year.
Mum (70s), step-dad (80), brothers wife (40s), and my brother about 20 years ago (30).

I do have my wife and children (22, 14x2, 4) to cherish.

I have always hated xmas.

Lost my mum 7 years ago,she was massively into all
Xmas and her birthday is Xmas Day so I find it doubly st.
Dad didn’t last too long after, he was broken after their 62 years together. This is my favourite photo of him,after I’d bought an XJ to surprise him.It became Readers car of the week on here which helped massively with my grief at the time.

My brothers.
The guy in the lead (20) died a few years ago. The guy in second (19) died just before christmas last year. They were both accomplished cyclists back in their day and I miss them terribly.
