In the last three weeks, I’ve learned…
…I can be completely and utterly surprised by something, but can rest assured that God is never surprised
…God truly is in control
…the fabulous combo of working out and consuming an inane amount of sweets is good for the soul
…I have a lot of friends
…and they like me, they really like me!
…people are more patient that I would ever have thought
…you have to write thank you notes for people who come to a funeral (I’m all for etiquette, but WTF?!)
…saying, “my father just died” makes for awkward moments in conversation (but I say it anyway)
…I really like blogging, so as Arnold said rather eloquently (and perhaps ominously), “I’ll be back”
It sounds like you're muddling through as good as can be expected. Still thinking of you over here. (Comment this)
My dad died by suicide 4 1/2 years ago and I'm just beginning to be able to speak those words. The first time I wrote it in text was a year ago - I stopped and cried. I have been running from the reality of it. I know it's difficult, but I think it's better to speak about your dad and deal with it day by day rather than push it down like I did. That only prolongs the pain. I know our dads died from completely different circumstances, and perhaps I handled it in the only way that I could, but I commend you for carrying on and living with the reality. (Comment this)
Sizz: :)
WG: oh gosh...I can't imagine waiting that long! But I also can't imagine what it must have been like when you found out how your dad died. It must have been like a punch to the gut...I'm SO sorry. Thanks for your comment! We're in the "my dad died suddenly and now what do I do?" club together. (Comment this)
