Just hey.

Hey pops.

Last night Chris and I went to dinner with Jeremiah and Skye....we went to that Mexican place on 33rd that you liked to go sometimes with us.  I kept telling Chris on the way there that I kept hoping you would be there because I wanted to show you my new tattoo.  Yep, me the un-tattooed one of the family finally took the plunge.  It was on a whim and I don't regret it in the least. 

I think Jim had his moment that I had last week and I am really sad for him yet happy at the same time.  After I had my breakdown and hit the bottom, I couldn't go anywhere but up and I have.  I still feel bad that Jim had to go through the same thing I did because I sure can understand how hard it was.  I miss you a lot and I am doing a lot better.  I am readying myself to go back to work and working toward normal.  Well, I better go get something done today....I haven't been very productive.

23 days later......

Dad,

We need to talk.  I finally finally understood last night that you are really REALLY gone and you are never EVER coming back.  Why did it take me 23 days to realize this?  I consider myself a pretty smart person.  Oh that's right, my brain disconnected itself from my heart and those two really don't talk much anymore.  I cried the ugliest, sobbiest, most physical cry last night for 45 mins.  Its hard for me that it took me so long to understand.....but in that moment I also came to understand that I know and am processing what is going on and I now need a plan to move on and up.  You wouldn't want me sitting here in my sad sack state with my cat and my blanket.  I am going to keep going.  I am going to be OK......even though right now I don't believe it.  Through the help of Erin and Chris I am going to get some normalcy back in my life.....get a routine going.  Dad, you can interrupt at anytime, I have some leeway.  You want me getting on with my life and you want what is the best for all of us.  I can do this.  I can do this.  Its going to be hard....but I CAN do this. I miss you more and more each day, but no more sad sackin' this.

I love you Dad.
