Visiting His Grave

I am leaving today to go visit my father's grave. They have put up his headstone and I am going to go for the first time since his birthday. I am not sure how to feel about it. Seeing his grave and the headstone is kinda like acknowledging that he really is gone. The stone with his name and the date of his passing..screaming he is dead..he isn't here anymore.

I felt the same way about my boyfriends headstone after it was finished and put up.His family were very good to me and let me help pick it out and help design it. I was very anxious to see the results.When I went to his grave and saw the stone it was beautiful.I immediately began crying because I knew that he would have been so proud of it.We had his favorite things carved into the stone,wolves and his favorite flower the rose.I know he is smiling down on me.

My parents are anxious to get my daughter's ordered and placed and I seem to be in no hurry for the same reasons you mentioned- it's like you can't lie to yourself anymore- it's real and there's nothing else to be said or done. It's hard and I'm sorry for you and me and everyone else that has to do this.

Know that you are not alone and that many of us have been there before. Even after almost 5 years, it doesn't seem real that my daddy is gone. Seeing the name and dates in stone does finalize it, even thought at times it doesn't seem real.

I was rushed to do this because it was a Labor and Industries claim...it was as if this was the last thing I could do for him...I didn't want it to be the last thing...still don't.
