My Birthday

Its my Birthday today and im finding it quite hard as it is the first one since my dad passed. Also my boyfriend is going to give me my long awaited engagment ring. I wish I could just be happy and not sad for one day. I have already had a little cry today and had to hold my tears in on the bus on the way to work. I know it will get easier with each year but it is so hard.
Everyone at work has made a real effort to make it special. I just dont want to seem ungrateful. Also im going out for drinks later with friends and just dont want to get emotional.

Many Happy Returns. Your Dad would have wanted you to be happy on your birthday, and especially happy to see you getting engaged. Be happy for him. Remember he is watching over you and will not want to see you crying on such a special day.

MY DAD PASSED ALMOST 3 YRS AGO AND ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS IT IS OK TO BE HAPPY AND SAD AT THE SAME TIME AND AS TIME GOES ON YOU WILL BE LESS EMOTIONAL WHEN SPECIAL TIMES COME AND JUST BECAUSE YOU FEEL LIKE CRYING WHEN NICE THINGS ARE HAPPENING TO YOU IT IS ALL A PART OF YOUR FEELINGS AND THEY ALL ARE OK. YOUR DAD WOULD WANT YOU TO HAVE THE BEST BIRTHDAY.

    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...
