A few minutes ago "Hate Me" came on the radio here at work. I'm not feeling very welcome at my mom's house right now. And the words hit me all over again. I know she is helping me out right now, but I thought I was helping her too. I thought the kids, and having people around made her feel better. She even said that last week. But now I don't feel like she wants us around. I feel really alone. I miss Royce. I miss my house.
And I still can't believe he is gone. Its weird, it seems like I have a very delayed reaction. Its been nearly 2 months, and it seems like its just hitting me.
Ryan told me last night that he wishes Bob could come back.
Teary at work. Not a good thing.
I miss my dad.

two months isnt very long. its such a small ripple when you put it in perspective.
i know how you feel about your mom. its just an adjustment period. and youre strong. when you cant stand it anymore, youll leave.

It's going to take time...
Breathe, cry, relax whenever you possibly can. Do your Yoga and don't put up with any nonsense.
That's my prescription.
I'm headed to bed as it's VERY late here.
Love Ya!

You have such a wonderful husband.
What a sweet guy.
Be patient with your living circumstances.
It could be worse, you could be in Darfur Sudan.
I think about my dad too.
You will always.
The pain eventually dulls.
November 15th will be 1 year
Hang in there Barb. Grieving as I am sure you know is a process. You were so busy taking care of everyone that now that you've had a chance to slow down a bit it's hitting you. You'll miss him. It's just a simple fact. It's healthy and normal. If you need anything I am here in town...use me as a resource.
I remember the first time I saw someone coming out of a store that made me think of my dad. He was wearing a bright orange shirt, just like my OSU fan dad. I was taken back through the memory files to all the times dad went shopping. Most men don't like to shop, but not my dad. There were very few women who could keep up with him, myself included. It as a shock to me, because I knew my dad was dead, but here was this man coming out of a store that made me question reality, for just a split second. Three and a half years later, I still miss my dad, but the memories get sweeter every day.
