Dealing with death

[fair_witness]

November is a difficult month this year. November is the month of my stepmom's birthday, their wedding anniversary, my father's birthday, and of course Thanksgiving, aka the Mega Family Get-together Holiday

The first year is the worst, no doubt. Hang in there.

Working on it. I'm glad we don't usually do a turkey for Thanksgiving, because I'm afraid I'd lose it, thinking about how much fun Dad had cooking a turkey - via Weber grill, in the snow of a Chicagoland-area winter.

Last tuesday was the sixth anniversary of my grampy's passing, and Dad still finds it a hard day to cope with. Last year seemed especially hard for him. We don't stop missing them, but I think we get moments where we're especially reminded of them- and then how much time has passed - and the wound feels as fresh as ever.

Yeah. I'm not really sure how I'm going to be on January 16th. But I'll deal with that when the time comes.
