Trying to be brave

[Pawsitive Thinking]

The day started with a nice text from my brother which set me off then I took some flowers and a poem to the crematorium. I sat in the remembrance garden in the rain for a while willing John Denver to sing just that little bit quicker and as I went to get into my car my Mum pulled up. Spent some time with her then went to lunch with Katie.

I then popped into work for a whole 90 minutes and went home to spend the evening with my family. I shed a few tears but thought more about how Dad was before Parkinsons...

I did a spot of retail therapy yesterday afternoon and can honestly say that the cloud has lifted and I feel good

Thanks to all of you for your kind messages of love and support - they helped me cope so much better. I wish I'd found PT years ago when Dad was first diagnosed but maybe finding you all so soon after his death was how it was meant to be

On Tuesday 20th of March my dad will be dead 16 years he was 47 years old and died of a coronary thrombosis on the side of the road without any of us with him. He had all the medical help he could have needed as there was a nurse and an ambulance man on the scene and there was a priest stuck in traffic near him on the day also. I still cry and get down around that time. I miss him badly especially in my times of crisis he always seemed to have the answer or at least with a look or a hug or a wink you knew you would be fine. So my friend if you will allow me to call you that I sympathise and send you one of the warmest most understanding hugs that can be sent to you. I always beleive though that he is with me no matter what and if I need to I sometimes chat to him and ask him to help me through the day and I think he does.

Take care and again (((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))) to you.

Tuesday will be the second anniversary of the horrid day that I lost my Dad . Am doing my best to remember all the great times we had together but can feel a familiar dark cloud looming overhead......... Its amazing that as someone who has trouble remembering what she had for dinner the previous day, I can recall every detail of 6 March 2005
