The WS Mental Health and Empathy Thread

[Road Runner]

I was worried about Christmas this year. Thanksgiving was somewhat manageable given it was spent with 20 members of the extended family.

I survived Christmas. Gifts with my Dad and brother was fine. Decided to go to church (was debating going to work today just to do something but church was a better option). Then did fuck all the rest of the day until dinnertime. Honestly that's not unlike other years, but the difference is my Mom would be here.

I miss her. She loved Christmas.

My Thanksgiving this year might be my last with my grandparents. My grandfather turns 91 next year and my grandmother is closing into her 90th birthday. My Christmases the past five years have been tough on me because in 2019, one of my dogs died close to Christmas.
