Trying to be brave

Thank you all so much

If you don't mind posting, how did the day go yesterday?

I know for me, the time leading up to the anniversary/birthday, what have you, is usually worse than the day itself.

Still thinking about you Denise, glad you made it through yesterday. (I think Denise took some time off work today too, so hopefully she will update us tomorrow). ((((hugs))) to you my dear friend.

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
