five tears for every minute he's gone

[joebender]

okay, so, I'm flipping through the channels last night trying to see what is on tv. I knew there was a football game on, so I watched it for a while, but it's so hard not to fall asleep watching football on tv, so I flipped through again. Full House is on, the Cosby show is on, and Even Stevens is on as well, but I watched them all a thousand times

i cry every time i hear that song. it's so sad. it IS sappy, but that's not why i'm crying. it's for all the sad i feel and all the tears i push away because i can't let myself cry every day.

once it starts you can't stop, and the tears look for any reason to come out.

You simply can't help but get all teary when that song is played. I don't think I've ever NOT cried when I've heard it!

I could care less about the song or movie, but I can completely identify with the feelings.

I feel like I've been shedding every last tear the last few weeks. I'm tired of feeling things, and I'm tired of crying. I'm tired of not knowing what i'm feeling, but still acting weird and people don't know what's wrong with me.

It's hard not to think about my dad still, but I don't dwell on what is lost as much as I used to.

Does not thinking about him make it better? I've been trying that, but so far it just makes me bottle things up until I can't take it anymore and fall apart.

Not thinking about my dad (you to your brother) just makes it worse. Well, I should say trying not to think about him. You're gonna think about him no matter what. You know that. If I try not to think about something, I usually think about it more. But yeah, don't not think about him. It gets easier as time passes. Sometimes I feel bad now because I don't think of my dad as much as I used to, but it's not a bad thing, as I'm sure you know. Your life will go on. But we can always think about that awesome next life. That's what I think about most now. I mean at certain times when something my dad and I did or saw or whatever I would grieve again, but I always look to the grand future of seeing him again.

I also think about how other people will pass away and this will be a thing I will have to get used to until I go. I know that that doesn't sound encouraging, but it's true.

So yeah, that's my answer to your question. It's a little more than I thought I would put. I hope it helps just a little bit. Sorry if it doesn't.

I watched the movie again this year. I cried my heart out for the last 1/2 hour. It's too sad, I don't know if I'll be able to put myself through that again next year.
