I’ve been feeling very anti-social this past week. I’ve not wanted to talk to anyone including family and friends. All I want is to wrap myself up at home and not venture out at all. I’ve not had the energy or inclination to do anything other then crochet Darryl’s blanket and listen to my books on tap. It’s curious but when my hands are busy and I have a Jane Austen book to listen to I always feel so much better.
Of course I know why I’m feeling this way. Normally I don’t give in to depression, but this week was very hard. I’m missing my dad very much and knowing that this is one more holiday that I will never spend with him again. I know each holiday will bring the same heart wrenching feelings and tears, but I hope the good memories will soon bring smiles instead.
Our little family currently consists of Darryl, me, along with our pups Lucas & Lily. We've been together for 14 years now, and we love every minute of it. I enjoy all types of crafty things such as knitting, crocheting, photography, sewing, and making cards. Darryl enjoys gaming (both PC and PS3), playing guitar, cooking, and just veggin out. Lucas and Lily just love to sleep, eat, and pets.
Maggie – Believe me, I understand how you’re feeling. I really do. I went through these same feelings for quite some time after my dad passed away. It’s been 6.5 years, and I will always, always miss him. Many times now, though, I can recount a memory and smile & laugh. That’s not to say, by any means, that I don’t wish he wasn’t here to do those things w/me in person. But you know what I mean. It does get easier, it really does. Everyone grieves differently, so make sure & don’t be hard on yourself for how you’re feeling. You take as much time as you need to feel the way you need to feel.
I’m here if you ever need me.
My poor precious!!!
I love you so much!
