Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
I don't enjoy posting sad news. My only sister died yesterday AM! Yes she has been in the throes of dementia since around 2010 after her open heart surgery! I can't make it as the services are this Tuesday. It will be a somber time for me! Need some cheering up.

So sorry for your loss, Pieere! I am not feeling very "Chiristmasy" this year either, nor did I last year. My 20 yr old nephew was killed in a car accident last Dec 16, so I know how a loss can dampen the holiday joy. I hope you find comfort in happy memories and can spend time with friends so you aren't alone.
Also wishing a speedy recovery for Trailerkings wife!
Pierre, my heart goes out to you. I lost my only sister two years ago during the holidays and while I love the holidays for my grandbabies sake, I am still saddened when I think of her being gone. It is no comfort to you know, but know that as each year passes you think more of those who are gone and the happy times you had with them and it makes the pain of losing them at least bearable.

Thanks folks for your replies! I will get by but it brought up a lot of disheartening memories! My Mom died of dementia; 2 other brothers and the oldest from a massive heart attack! My Dad of Colon Cancer! Being the age I am now; is not what I call the Golden Years!
Just have to face the music should they say!

Our thoughts and prayers for you Pieere, may your sister rest in peace. Know she is no longer in pain or suffering and that you will one day see her again.
With sympathy,
Les and Sue

I lost my brother just before Christmas in 2013 and then his wife this summer. Life goes on, but at Christmastime one feels the sadness more. So sorry for your loss, Pierre. Will keep you in prayers. Pat K

So very sorry for your loss of your dear sister during the Christmas season. May your sadness fall away and be replaced with fond memories as you enter the new year.

The worst part of it I was not able to attend her service; I was informed of her passing on the evening of Saturday the 20th and her services were Tuesday the 23rd. I will be going up hopefully this July to visit! The Champlain Valley/Lake Champlain area of NY is very unpredictable this time of year. They are getting their first measurable snow now!
Thank everyone for their support and just maybe my emotions have settled down a bit more now!

Pieere: Please take care of yourself and don't sit alone on New Years. Find a friend old or new and have a good meal and enjoy the conversations around you. I wish you energy and inspiration and the love of your friends.

Stayed home and cooked a meal for myself. I am better off by myself as if I needed to cry; scream or ......; I could without offending anyone! Guess that is why I am a single; LOL. I had done a small Peppercorn seasoned pork roast; green beans and a baked sweet potato. Watched some old retro movies and relaxed.
Well; Forward and onward to the New Year ahead of me and a 45 month survivor of a severe heart attack as of the 30th of December at 4:20 AM.
