I went to visit my dad's grave yesterday. I haven't been to his grave in years and years. It was emotional for me. I felt like I was going to say good bye to him, but when I got there I saw the empty spot between his grave and my maternal grandfather's. He sexually abused my mother. She will rest between her father who sexually abused her and her husband, the alcoholic who beat her.

Then there's me, looking at all three, at the grave waiting to be occupied by the mother I seldom have any contact with because of her continued abuse. I realised I will be back to my father's grave when my mother dies.

I cried for all of us.

Doesn't make me feel better, no meaning to me for sure.
Can't stop you from praying and blessing me,
and if that makes you feel better feel free.
But keep it to yourself please, don't tell me.
And let's all respect each other's feelings.
With kindness, support and "sweet dreamings."
