About Me
My Dad and I were very close. He was, to me, a cross between John Wayne and Fred Flintstone. I miss him so much its seems painful. He was my Dad, my self confidence, my rock, my all. Its like half of my soul has been removed. Now I am in the process of rebuilding who I am without him. I feel lost. I know this grief process takes time. I'm trying to deal with my emotions head-on. I don't want to stuff them away so I have to deal with them years from now. ***I've started writing a little factoid about my Dad after all my log entries. It makes me smile. Try it.
