A few people have asked me if this year (and holiday season) is easier without my Dad than last year was. . And with all of the "firsts" gone, with the joy of Madelyn, with business being good, etc. you would think I would be able to say, "Yes." . But I actually cannot.... . Because this year it is far worse. . I am not numb. The pain is not acute. I am not in survival mode. I am not getting through the first of everything without him. . I am here, present and aware and I feel E V E R Y T H I N G. . I feel it all. The unfillable gaping hole in my heart without him. . I get and appreciate the advice of being thankful for the time I had with him, to lean into the joy of everything we have, etc. I get it. . But my answer is still real and true to me. . Is this year more easeful without my Dad than last year? . No. It is far worse. . But I still thank you for asking. See more

The Calendar Turn . For many of us who own a calendar, turning it over on the first of the month can mean so many different things. . To many, it's new beginning. A new start. A reminder of what is to come. For many, it's the beginning of anything you want it to be.... . . . And I suppose it is for me too, in a sense. . But with the turn of each month, I am reminded of July 1, 2019. As every month goes by, it is a reminder of another month without my Father. Another month of memories he hasn't been around to see. Another month of missing him. . Another month. . And I suppose it could be different if he passed on a different day of the month. Perhaps not. . What I do know is that I think he held on until July 1, so that we would always have a reason to celebrate him. So we would never forget. So that we would know he was Somewhere. . But with each month that moves through us, I turn the page, and I am brought right back there. . And it is still surreal that the next turn is 18 months... . Throwback to 1982... . Leave a comment below and let me know what turning to a new month represents for you

Oh how I long for the days that you would make these memories with Madelyn... . Almost 17 months without you and somehow it seems like this Christmas may be even harder without you. . .... . See more
