I thought I was doing okay today but as the afternoon progresses, I find myself falling into melancholy. In past years, my wife and I would have started making a Christmas feast about now, centered on roast duck, but she passed away a little over two years ago. Now I'm finding myself wandering aimlessly through the house, grazing on this and that, trying to figure out what to do with myself. Unfortunately, the weather outside is still awful, so I can't really go out for a walk.

I understand. David and I used to cook together for his kids and parents. He is gone 6 yrs. They left when he died.
It is a different world now. I am raising our twins who r 12 now - don't know what I would do without them. But meals for young kids and one adult are not the same.
I hope u find a way to make the day yours now.
Merry Christmas!
