[QUOTE]<strong>Saturday was terrible.</strong> I was pretty hungover though so it was perfect weather for staying in bed all day. It was my MOH's birthday on Saturday and I felt bad for her because the weather was so bad, all she wanted to do for her birthday was go to the zoo and it was too rainy to do that.

The weather effing sucked.

I am so bitter that Friday was beautiful and yesterday was beautiful, but the one dang day I wanted a pretty day had to be shiit out.

At least the umbrellas I gave out as thank you gifts came in handy.

Daff, I don't know how you EVER get over it. My dad passed away 8 years ago and I still dream about him. I often find myself thinking 'oh, I need to tell daddy abou tthat' and then it hits me all over again that he's not there.

Yeah, I do this all the time. It's been 3 years. I guess I don't cry about it as often these days, but I just need her. There's a huge hole in my life with her gone. She was my best friend. I spent a couple of years living at home in my 20s, and during that time we were able to build an adult friendship. We had a 4-mile walk that we'd do together almost every day, and we'd spend the entire time talking and laughing, never running out of things to talk about. We'd tell each other everything. I'd go out to dinner with her and her friends and we'd have such a blast.

Sorry about your dad lvb. (((hugs)))

I'm sure that's extremely hard. I found my dad passed away when I was 15. We never left that parent/child relationship. I can't imagine how much harder it is to lose not only your mom, but your best friend too. I'm so so sorry.

You guys should all just come down here!

Daff & LVB :hugs:

My dad passed away 15 years ago Saturday and it's still really hard for me. I think you just get used to a new "normal". I'd like to think when I dream about him, it's his way of coming to visit and say hi though.

::hugs::

I had my first dream about my dad a few weeks ago.  He's been gone for 6 years and that was the first one, it was really strange feeling. 

I think I married my dad though when it comes to Trevor.  They're so much alike and it really helps when I have bad missing him days.

IMO - not always, but there are 2 dreams in particular that I've had where I felt certain she was really there, visiting me. The rest is just my brain trying to sort things out, I guess.

Hey Stacks...Rochester, PA is literally 10 minutes from where I grew up.  There are TONS of living options in that area depending on which school district you want to be in.  Let mw know if you have any questions about the area.

Yeah I know what you mean. 6-12 months ago I had a dream where his face was more real than I ever remember it being. I was 12 when he passed, so I have memories of him and all of that, but sometimes I can't remember his face exactly. It really through me for a loop when I had that dream.

Daff, I get the feeling you're not a hugger, but I'm inclined to hug you. I get it. I'm not sure it ever gets easier. My dad's been gone almost 10 years and still think "Holy crap, 10 years?!?". But sometimes he calls me in my dreams (we used to spend every Sunday on the phone with eachother), especially when something good is happening. Occassionally I'll remember/realize I can't just pick up the phone and call him and it hits me right in the gut again. He was one of my best friends in the whole world. What an awesome guy he was, and I was really lucky to get to know him. I'm glad I at least had him until I was in my 20s.

Stacks I'm with you, though. Mr. P is so much like my dad it's scary sometimes. I wish they'd been able to meet, but Mr. P was about 5 years too late. They'd have loved eachother, not to mention I make no sense in context with the rest of my family. You really need my dad to see where I fit in. That's why I drag my husband to my dad's sister's house for Thanksgiving every year. I make SENSE there!

Stacks - yeah, that is what I thought, too. I just got over this stuff in January. My Grandma was sick when we went home, so I think I got it from her. But I dunno, I think some of it may be allergies and stuff, too.

Sara - yes, we are moving regardless. Our lease is up July 2 and we are not renewing it. So H told me that if I get a job first, I can move back temporarily and then come back down here and help him move. If we live with family and I get a decent paying job, I should be able to support us along with what we have saved. It will be tight, but worth it. H says it is too hard to look for a job when you already have one esp if they want him for interviews. There is no way they are going to let him have all that time off to fly up. He would need at least 2.5 days and that would be pushing it.

Hugs to all you amazing ladies.

Manda - I'm a hugger. Thanks. Sorry about your dad.
