About Me
My Dad and I were very close. He was, to me, a cross between John Wayne and Fred Flintstone. I miss him so much its seems painful. He was my Dad, my self confidence, my rock, my all. Its like half of my soul has been removed. Now I am in the process of rebuilding who I am without him. I feel lost. I know this grief process takes time. I'm trying to deal with my emotions head-on. I don't want to stuff them away so I have to deal with them years from now. ***I've started writing a little factoid about my Dad after all my log entries. It makes me smile. Try it.

Today is an emotional day. This is going to sound pouty but I need to get it off my mind. When I was growing up, it seemed that my sister had my mom …

Thinking of you and sending you hugs!!!
Well Done
Am so happy for you. I knew you could do it. I am so happy it went well for you.
I’m With You
I can empathise with you. My son is 19 and attending University. It is such a wrench. All I can see when I think of him leaving is an umbilical cord, I suppose I've got to imagine cutting the umbilical cord. Just a tiny bit ever now again. If I think positive for the future I imaging holding it and getting ready to cut it a tiny bit.

Hope your doing better. And don't forget to let me know hope the party went.

Close Empty Nests
My only son is leaving for his freshman year in college. He has health issues that are life threatening and I'm a nervous wreck. I need somewhere to chat and get feedback from others who are experiencing the dreaded Empty Nest.
