is it really less than a week?? Mood

I just can't believe Papa's anniversary is this Friday..where did the time go?! 

I know it's normal to be upset & thinking about last year when it first happened & everything, I just can't believe it's been a long year! I went to my friend's grandpa's memorial service today & it was really beautiful. But just walking into the funeral home & listening to people say their things here & there was really difficult. I thought I was strong enough to handle it but I was bawling when my friend & her sisters were reading a poem they wrote for him. It was also very strange, subconsciously knowing the 1 year was less than a week away, & not being on the receiving end of all the condolences. I can remember everything almost perfectly, very clear in my head. I don't really understand..

    Hang in there girl...Every year is a sad time for me and my dad has been gone for ten years now. I still miss him, especially now that my mom is declining. This works for me: Whenever I happen on to something that I feel unsure of I say to myself 'What would dad do?' It WORKS EVERY TIME. My goal (even at 55 yrs old!!!) is to live my life in a way that dad would be proud..
    Love to you,
    Jan
