    About Me

    I lost my dad on November 6th of 2007 to a heart attack. My brother and dad went hunting that weekend and my brother woke up and found my dad not breathing on November 4th. He was rushed to the hospital and never woke up. We came to a difficult decision to take my dad off of life support November 6th 2007. Me and my dad had a very distant relationship during his passing and now the guilt is literally killing me. I don't use the people around me and find my pushing away when I know I should be doing the opposite. I miss my dad very much.

    Interests

    My life revolves around my family and my boyfriend of 5 years. I have a little sister(17) and little brother(14).

      You need to do what feels right for you. My sister and I had small wood hearts made with a bit of my mom's ashes inside. The rest will go next to my grandpa ( her father ) sometime this summer. When we feel up to it. My parents were also no longer married so my sister, my aunt and I have been doing the best we can. I hope you can find a way to make peace with what ever you deceide.
