Oh, dear. I'd be worried too. We have a neighbor down the road from us, that I know has some medical issues, and anytime I hear sirens, I worry it's her. :(

hiya Liz! love the color blending of your av! so creative

Thank you, Alicia. :) And howdy to you as well!

I tend to get worried whenever I hear sirens. :U

Liz: - We had a neighbor like that a few years back. I think he must have passed away because the last time the ambulance came, it was the last we heard of him. :/

:( That's sad.

It is. I hate thinking about things like that though.
I'm a very emotional person, and things like that get to me.

Every time I hear a siren, I think "Oh god what if" and then my mind goes wild.

I'm the same. Especially if I know the people or it's kids and elderly people involved. :(

The old man who lived across the street was healthy as a mule and then keeled over suddenly. Was the strangest thing.

Mhm. :c
We didn't know him personally, but we would see him sometimes and we'd say hi or wave in greeting.
When it's kids, it's worse for me. I just can't deal.

It always seems out of the blue when someone is as healthy as an ox and then they pass away. :/

so sad :( especially around holidays when its so nice to pull your loved ones near to you for visits and remembering past good times

Oh no, he didn't die during the holidays. It was in the middle of summer or so.

Yeah. Deaths around the holidays are the toughest, I think.

Yeah, totally.

It certainly dampens the mood and spirit. :c

Not much to be done about it. :C

Mhm. The day after Christmas is tough on us since the boyfriend's mom passed away on that day. :( If it wasn't for the kids, we'd likely not celebrate it as much.

Oh my, that must be a tough one to deal with.

It is. Though, I think it's gotten slightly easier over the years. Or we do a better job at not showing how it affects us. :/

That's really rough. :/ I can't even imagine going through that.

Have you ever considered discussing it with the children?

We have. I'm meaning more for the boyfriend's siblings and step-dad. The boys understand what happened and we've told them that she's still watching over them.

Ah, okay.

*pokes the thread*
