Since I was a small child, I always enjoyed decorating for Haloween. Although I have lost that desire since I first moved to Montana. I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that John died too close to his birthday which is 31 Oct. I lost one of the best people to have come into my life at a relatively young age, and was devistated.
A couple of years ago, I asked David to not decorate the house for his favorite holiday, Christmas. He told me no, and then proceded to notice that I didn't seem to have a favorite holiday. I didn't dress or decorate for Haloween, didn't care for Christmas, didn't go out for New Years, and can't stand fireworks. So he asked me what my favorite holiday as a kid was, and I told him Haloween. He asked me why we didn't decorate the house?
I told him about John and how we used to decorate the house very elaborately. Ever since that time, I have changed my attitude and don't mind decorating as long as there are other people who can enjoy the decorations.
Is it wrong to not want to decorate if no one else can enjoy the decorations?

i think that now that you have david in your life you can make some new memories with him for the holidays.
ReplyDeletei know it was difficult the first couple of years after my grandma died for me to celebrate the holidays. i think the first year was more about keeping mom sane. G'ma died in Oct 2006. In Oct 2007, I was distracted by someone else who kept my spirits up, but last year was the worst year for me. This year I do have my decorations out and I plan on doing lots of reminiscing this year.
