I'm sorry your feeling down, I know that feeling, all to well and I wish that you didn't have to go through it.

My Mother passed on Memorial Day and I too get in that "Funk". It's been 27 years and still every year it hits me, that mood or funk as you say. I'm sure the last thing you needed was for your daughter to be so unfair about things on top of it. I hope you funk has passed and hope that you can work something out with your family for the holidays.

Holidays should be shared with loved ones if possable but that doesn't mean your buttons should be the only one pushed. Start pushing some buttons yourself.

Next year do what I do, I know that the "Funk" is going to happen. It always happens. So ever years now I have a group of friends over for a Bar-Q. It does helps.

Feel better.
