Three months ago today it was my dads birthday and in 5 days time it will be 3 months since he died. I really dont know how to cope, there is so much i never got to say. There are so many painful reminders. I just want to see him one more time and tell him how much i love him and how much he means to me.

There is no right way to cope. We just battle on. I guess what helps is not focusing on our loss but celebrating what time we did have together. Looking back at the wonderful person they were.

Tomorrow is my Dad's first birthday in heaven and next month it will be the first anniversary of his passing. I cope better some days than others, but still cry when something brings his memory back to me. I am going to take flowers and a poem and visit his gravesite tomorrow with my Mom and my sister and I put a memorial in the paper in honor of his life here on earth and all the wonderful memories we shared with him. You need to remember all the good times you shared with him and remember his love for you and live on for him. He would want you to have the best life you can and enjoy your life. It is so hard to lose someone as close as your father or mother, but we cope day by day and pray it gets easier as we live on. God Bless you! jrmom

I lost my mom Dec 24th, 2007. I was really close to her. She was my best friend. She was with me through the good and bad. What helps me when I am alone is talk to her in my car if she can here me. Who knows? I will give her an update on how my dad is doing etc. It helps me on the way to work. Sometimes I cry, sometimes I smile. I am also finishing a project that she started. She had a property that she was going to sell. Anyway It sat for the year my mom was sick with cancer. My mom and I worked on it together. So everyday I fix something on it. I was thinking today I might feel sad when it sells. Two days ago some roses bloomed my mother's favorite color. It was if my mom was saying "Bob I am doing fine". I just had to smile. I also help my dad with many chores. The old guy is 76. He thought he would go first. I also give my mom updates on him, and how he is doing. I really try to face the sadness head on. I try not to run or avoid it. I also remember the good year we had in 2007 before she died. I spent some quality time with her. Well as strange as it sounds this helps me... Take care, Bob

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
