I went to work like any ordinary Monday. When I sat down at a restaurant for lunch, I got the phone call from the nurse. I was in shock. I was supposed to visit my dad that past weekend, but I got a virus, and I didn't want to risk getting him sick in the nursing home.
My mom said my dad always looked forward to my visits. She said it was like he would get a "second wind" of energy and be really happy.
It's been a really hard year. I was getting "better" -- I worked through my depression. But, today, the tears can't stop. I woke up at 3:30AM this morning thinking about my dad, crying.
Depression, sadness, and grief are a stone's throw away. It would be easy to jump into that deep, dark hole, but I am fighting it. But the tears and the memories won't stop.
I really miss my dad.

Today will be a rough day. I won't lie about that. BUT, you will make it through just like you have this past year. Expect tears - why not? Are you just supposed to never cry about your loss again? Crying is healthy... not crying is not. My thoughts are with you. Hugs.

I'm sorry sweetie. I go through those days too. If you peek at my most recent journal entry, you'll see that this month will be full of those days for me. Just know that it's o.k. to miss him,it's o.k.. to cry, and youare not alone, by any means. Huggs, Rainbow

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...
