[Pawsitive Thinking]

Was the day my darling Dad died. The first anniversary is on Monday so the next few days are going to be a total rollercoaster of emotions as all those memories come flooding back.

I am pleased to say that the visions of his last few years with Parkinson's are starting to be replaced with happier times - my particular favourite is of when I was about 7, curled up on Dad's lap, snuggled into his thick, grey jumper and laughing at Tom and Jerry cartoons together....happy days

I probably won't be around on Monday as I plan to go with the flow on "the day"

Thanks for letting me share

Anniversaries, are difficult aren't they? Particularly the first one. You are right to take some time to yourself on Monday. We'll be here for you when you get back.

My Dad died many many years ago and I will always miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with you sweetie

Brody's Mom,

They say time heals all, but somehow I think it simply dulls the pain.

I know how difficult it can be around a loved one's anniversary. My Dad died 9 years ago this August and I still feel like I have a hole in my heart. I go by where he used to work (where I may very well be working soon), my eyes start leaking. So many memories, but good ones.

I hope the anniversary goes okay for you. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Instead of mourning his passing, celebrate his life!

(((((((((HUGS)))))))))))) honey!

I am glad that some of the sadder memories are being replaced with happier ones. It does happen in time. I lost my Dad 20 years ago last August and still that date August 10th, his birthday etc., still make me sad, but the pain does get duller and the good memories stronger. Take the time you need to be by yourself and we will be here when you return. Gentle ((((Hugs)))) to you.
