Today is my Father's birthday.
He died last year and this is the first time he's not here for me to call and say "Happy Bithday Dad".
It feels wrong to be mad at this - I mean it's all out in the open, 20th October, Dad's birthday, dies February of course he will miss his b'day. And Fathers day, Xmas etc etc...I'd rather share my dads memory with you people who don't even know me than with any of the remaining siblings. Phonies and hypocrites who wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire but all of a sudden want to say memorial masses!!! Give me a break.

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...
I'm sorry you can't share the mourning experience with siblings on your Dad's birthday. I have no siblings to share my Mom's 100th birthday, which will be one month from your Dad's - yes. Nov. 20th. She missed it by 2 months, and I don't know what to do. I miss her so.
I don't know what you planned for your Dad's b'day but I'd say plan to keep those "first" holidays low-key. We'll have enough unavoidable reminders during the holiday season to make the pain process difficult.
"What the Bleep do we Know." it will change the way you view death and life in general. This is not a sci-fi movie. It is fact. It makes the Theory of Quantum Physics understandable and ejoyable.
People handle things different ways ... I personally don't plan to celebrate another holiday ever.
Christmas, Mother's Day...I have no idea how I will deal with those days. It is going to be a challenge for sure. I am thinking of traveling at Christmastime to not be surrounded by memory triggers.
