Ella, I understand how you feel - my mom died 2 1/2 years ago and I stll miss her. I still see things in stores I'd like to give her and feel so sad that I can't.
I only have one family member left - my sister, who recently moved to the other side of the country. If it weren't for the kindness of people unrelated to me I wouldn't have had any christmas at all this year. The people I work with went out and bought gifts for me, which was nice even though they don't really know my taste that well. I didn't really get any fun gifts but the fact that I got anything at all nearly moved me to tears. I always used to bitch about the things my family got me for christmas, the money wasted on stuff I wouldn't use, etc. Little did I know that within a few short years I would have virtually no family left at all.
