HOLIDAYS ARE NOT THE SAME

My family officially fell apart in June of 2004. My mother just up and left my father and I and took my little brother with her. My older sister and two nieces moved to Atlanta GA in 2003 and my oldest brother moved to Alabama in 2004. I am a daddy's girl and always have been so I was fine and dandy with everything in the beginning. My other sister eventually moved to Atlanta in 2005 and my other brother moved to Atlanta in 2006. Knowing my medical situations and knowing that my "clock" is ticking faster than others it's becoming very depressing that my family is not together. Every year the passes the holidays seem to become more depressing to me. I am truly beginning to hate them with a passion. It is just my father and I.....we have NO ONE ELSE. NO OTHER FAMILY HERE!!!! I'm going down to Atlanta this Christmas to be with my little brother, two nieces, oldest sister and mom but half the other family is still not around. I'm going to try to make the best of it. I don't wish for any material things, I just wish I could have the past back!!!! For those who are blessed enough to spend the holidays with family....CHERISH EVERY MOMENT!!!!!! For Thanksgiving my father has to work so I am going to be completely alone.... maybe I'll take myself to the movies lol.
