Father's day

[mdlbear]

I'm sitting in the living room next to Colleen, but I'm oddly lonely and melancholy. My 40th college reunion was this weekend -- there was no way I could possibly have gone. One of my kids is nearly a thousand miles away, as are some of my closest friends.

And my Dad died a decade ago. This is one of the days in the year when I miss him most keenly.

Yes I can understand where you're at in some respects. My dad died a few years ago, and even though I have a hubby to celebrate with, it is oddly melancholy for at least part of the day, every year for me.

Happy Father's Day from our home to you. I hope you find some small joy to help cheer your mood.

Love, Hugs and Blessings,
Shadowe

((((HUGS))))

Yeah, there are plenty of small joys, (and larger ones -- it's been years since the kids were small enough to fit into the "small joy" category :) ).
I'll make it.

((Steve)) Shared pain is lessened.

All of my children are more than a thousand miles away; and, like yours, are grown enough to have lives of their own.

My father passed away last September, peacefully, at 82.

I understand, so well. *wansmile* Be well, and even though there is great distances involved, they are all thinking of you at some point. *hug*

It doesn't help in a practical way, but I do think about you often. I've been in to much of a complicated place lately to call almost anyone but I do care.

[mdlbear]

*hugs* That does help.

I could probably manage to call you, if you like; I'm pretty sure I still have your number in my email.

Thanks.

And yet another hug.

My father died about a year before yours did. I never really got to know him. Be happy that you knew yours well enough.

It's not the calling part really. I'm having major mood issues due to meds that I'm on (anger primarily) and I've sort of been avoiding folks which probably makes it worse, sort of. Let me think about it and maybe this week or next week will work out for talking.

[mdlbear]

OK. I know about that one, too; I'm one of those people who's most reluctant to call my friends when I'm in a bad mood, which is probably when I need it most.
