Soup Pot Size:: Major Tragedy
Share More:: YES
Ingredients:
Tears; memories, all that I can find; my hopes for what I had wanted to happen; my wishes for the future
Process:
I think and dream about what I wanted to happen; how much I wanted my Dad to walk me down the aisle, how much I wanted him to see my children and to go with him to church, and how I wish it would
change. I talk with other people about him, and what has changed.
Personal Loss:
My dad died three weeks ago, four weeks before I am getting married. He spent much of his life drinking and split up his and mom's marriage with his selfishness, but I miss him so much right now, even though I didn't even really see him all the time, and the last few months of his life he was so sick and I know he did not want to live that way, and it wasn't my dad, but I still miss him so much.
