Time doesn't heal everything

Father's day. This has to be one of the most difficult days of the year.

People say it will get better with time. Yeah, well, people also lie. I've realized that dealing with loss only gets harder with time. At first, I was in a state of shock. I was numb. My mind, body, heart, everything was numb. Everything. My mind refused to register what was going on around me. So, I kept telling myself it was all a dream, and I will wake up soon. The truth is, two years later, I am still trying to convince myself that it is a dream and I'll wake up soon. The only difference is that I'm no longer numb. I can now feel the pain. I think I'd rather just be numb.

Sorry to be such a downer. It is a beautiful day. Those of you that are fortunate enough to spend it with your fathers, enjoy it, and don't take any second for granted.


Happy Father's Day.

  2. Im sorry i took so long to comment on this.. i just did not know what to say. Before that day, i was able to say i have never attended a funeral. umm. not anymore. it was a totally different experience. not only did my second dad have to part. but i had to see my best friend(my sister), my second mom and my second brother and many other family members sobbing and holding you guys. i felt useless and everything seemed blurry. i felt like many ppl already knew me although they had never spoken to me. it was a bitter-sweet moment. i felt surrounded by family but someone was missing. he was the biggest encouragement we ever had. i love you best friens...and i miss him and i cant imagine how much you miss him
