      Its okay. Thank you for that. I am feeling a lil better today, though as with all grief, some days are good and some are bad. I don't expect them all to be good, but I'm glad I won't always be sad. I know I'll be able to move on.

    • Hug

      From BlackBeltKat32 June 20

      Just read your journal about feeling like your Dad is further and further away. I felt that way about my Mom until I saw my first butterfly of the season and then dreamed that she and I were having a long talk. I forget what we talked about but I have the feeling she was imparting some wisdom from beyond. All this is to say that I hope this comes true with your Dad as well, that he appears to you when you least expect it. Keep your eyes open for butterflies...they are a sign.

      made a stupid decision to ride an ATV early one morning and slammed into a tree. Broke my arm, crushed my elbow. A year later, another surgery and my hand's completely messed up. Meds the rest of my life.
