hahaha...thanks, annie. funny we posted separately, too. i hadn't loaded upu the pics after completing the text. like i said, symmetry. it's scary sometimes.
aww.. your entry was so sad. it kinda brought tears to my eyes. it's reading entries like these that make me realize i should appreciate the things my parents do for me. i'm sorry for the loss of your dad. i hope you find strength in yourself to be happy and still enjoy life.
btw, you are so naturally gorgeous! both you and betty.
I lost my dad my freshmen year in college to cancer too. I can attest to the same feelings you have here. Not necessarily wanting to get married at that time...since I was only 19, but the thought of not having in the stands as I walk to recieve my degree, walk me down the aisle, or kissing his grandchildren...kills me to this very day. They always say "he's looking down on you," but its just not the same, ya know? Anyhow, I dont know why i even got all deep in your journal, but I wish you the best and from what I read, it seems that youre doing just fine.
i know everyone eventually experiences the loss of a parent, but that knowledge doesn't make it any easier. i find that i miss him at the oddest moments...like when i bought a bike...or happen to hear a song from Abba...anyway, i guess mourning is a life-long experience. thanks for sharing.
It is the oddest moments...I guess thats what makes it so authentic. I once drove past the violin store that my dad took me to when I was 10, and the floodgates opened. Regarding the bike, I had my moment last night. I am in the market for a cruiser and was talking to a vendor...seeing if he had a banana seat one...and he said, "Thats funny, no one ever really asks for banana seats anymore..." And I realized, I wanted it for a sentimental reason..reminiscent of my 8th birthday present.
