Well since every day's a new day, I think so.

I work with a gym teacher who says "I can't wait until tomorrow!"

Me: "why?"

Him: "because I get better looking every day!"

This is a joke my dad used to tell!

Thank you for calling up a great memory of him.

Sorry for your loss, hope the holidays weren't too bad for you. The firsts are always so hard.

Thank you. We got through. There were some very difficult moments, of course. I am so fortunate to have a close, supportive family. We are all in it together. My mom is doing OK, but it's going to be a long road. My dad doted on her for 40 years. He made an impression on everyone he met. When he passed, I received messages from people who met him once 15 years ago at a NYE party and remembered him. He wasn't on Facebook, but his obituary was shared over 2,000 times (he was a retired teacher and I'm sure his former students shared it, a couple, who had him as a teacher 10 years ago, even came to his memorial). The funeral director said he had never had his website blow up like that- and that was when his obit had been shared a couple hundred times.

Thank you :)

I'm not trying to hijack this, but it's therapeutic to talk about him. I looked up the stages of grief and I am still stuck firmly in anger. At my other job at a skilled nursing facility I have a second or two of anger when I have patients older than he was (and the strong majority of them are 65+) He was only 63 and he died at home, alone. My mom was on vacation with me and my kids, we were on our way back from North Carolina to Chicago. We assume it was cardiac since he had a significant cardiac hx (MI with double bypass 19 years ago, HTN). He had died several days before my mom asked a neighbor to check on him. I really hope there is such a thing as instantaneous death.

It's the So Fetch Thread. Your dad is worth more than this. Hijack away!

BTW, if you ever do want to vent, the Good Morning thread on The Blue Side is very nice, and filled with kind people. It's a safe place.
