Happy Holidays @cloflo! Even if you are missing someone from your celebration, its still good that you were still able to spend it with the rest of your loved ones. Sure, it would really feel different when a person you love has gone and yet we keep on moving forward to keep their memories and traditions alive.
Hope your 2023 will be filled with less tears and loneliness and more joy and love.
Thank you for the wishes, @indayclara! Indeed, it is an inevitable part of life, but we gotta accept and move on partly for them but mostly for ourselves. Happy Holidays!
