man, these last few days, i've just been down in the dumps. it started friday when i got home. all of the company vans were gone. that just killed me. my sister had told me all week that it would happen, but until it did, i didn't care. it just made me think about my dad, losing little pieces of him, etc. this greiving thing is not fun. lots of ups

No one would laugh at you for that....at least I hope not. There is nothing funny about this at all. We just have to learn to seperate Dad from Dad's things. Some things are going to be different now, but the important things will never change. I think letting go of some of his things is not the same as letting go of him. We can't find Dad in material things, no matter how long we hold on to them. He's right here...in the way we laugh, or when we're lonely. So just surround yourself with those thoughts and it'll get you through. In just a couple of weeks you get to start a new life, so hang in there.

I just want you to know that I don't think this is stupid. I'm not going to ever pretend to know where you're coming from or even what to say. But I don't think the thing about the vans is stupid. That's all I wanted to say... I'm sorry I wasn't more observant and understanding. As always, I love you.
Love,
Emily
