(((((((((((((((Sweetlove)))))))))))))))

I lost my dad almost 7 years ago, and I find that the grief comes in waves, at the strangest times. Just today, I was driving with one of my sons, and I said "I can't BELIEVE Pop Pop died", and my son said "if he was here, he's be SO proud of me at baseball" (my son is a big baseball player), and I just felt so sad.

The days before he died and the day he died are still difficult to remember. It's just painful, painful stuff.

There is something cleansing about grieving, though. I know that right now you feel raw and awful, but I hope that later, you might feel some of the peace that comes from letting ourselves feel our feelings. And if you don't, that's okay too. Grieving is what it is, and it honestly takes the time it takes.

I'm glad you had T today. Even though it was painful, you didn't have to go through it alone.

Sending SO many hugs
