The holidays are harder

It's true what they say.  For people who have lost a loved one, the holidays really are harder.  It's not just the things you miss like the smell of your grandmother's apple pie or the sound of your dad's voice reading the Christmas story.  It's the things you missed as well.  Like adding another stocking to your collection and having two baby's 1st Christmas ornaments hanging on your tree.  I'm doing more than browsing gift ideas online today...today I'm thinking about the things that I missed.
