4 weeks ago today, our lives changed...
Its really hard for me to believe that its been 4 weeks since my dad died. Some days it feels like it was yesterday and others it feels like it happened so long ago. But now that it's November I am actually dreading all of those "holidays" that are coming up and anyone who knows me knows that I am a holidays girl, I usually *love* Thanksgiving and decorating for Christmas, don't get me started. I have to use all kinds of willpower to wait until the weekend after Thanksgiving before I start putting my tree up and putting out the dozen inflatables that I own. But, this year I just don't feel ready for them and wish I could stop them from coming. I know that I have to have them because it wouldn't be fair to the kids not too but it just feels like theres not a whole lot to be thankful for right now. Okay, I'm going to stop now. Sorry I used the blog as a form of therapy and got all deep on you. ;-)

Sorry to hear that the holidays are hitting you so hard. I know that we had a holiday within a short time too, like 4-6 weeks, after Ayed's mom died. It is most definitely difficult but it does offer a time for everyone to remember your dad together and to tell good stories about him. He will be with you through these spoken memories, so don't think otherwise. You could even make a tradition of each person having a story to tell about a memory they have of your dad, it could be like a gift to him from each of you. Anyhow, I don't think your dad would want you to "shortchange" the kids' holidays so don't feel badly about going on with life, just include your dad in little ways.
The kids' Halloween pictures were adorable. What a shame that we couldn't have more!
I hope all is going well with your whole family. Talk to you later.
