It's over and I'm tired

Wed Dec 24, 2008, 6:38 PM

Saturday afternoon my brother and I arrived and spent time with our father. He was 66 but looked 96—thin and frail and barely able to move. I held his hand for a while and spoke with him as much as he was able. My brother and I said our goodbyes in our own way. Sunday night at 7:40 PM EST he died. The memorial service was Tuesday and after that my brother and I drove back home.

Currently I'm just numb and exhausted. I barely even realize that tomorrow is Christmas—so tired.

Thankyou to everyone who has been kind and supportive through this mess.

I'm so sorry babe.

I was thinking about you over Christmas and wondering how everything was going. I sent good thoughts your way. I miss you, I hope that everything will be okay.

To be honest, I've been expecting this for years. Despite that—I thought I was prepared—I was not. It has just been a strange set of circumstances and emontions.

When are you going to get your internet back up and running?

When I get a job and am able to afford getting it running again.
BTW, you misspelled emotions.

PB is still here for you whenever you need me... just a little behind.

Would you like a number so that you contact me every now and again?

that is a really crappy thing to happen at any point in life,but especially around christmas

i really hope that you find a way to make peace with what has happened, although sometimes that seems impossible

i guess he had all that he could bare and sometimes it doesnt seem it but death is the sense of freedom we need

hopefully the new year will bring you better experiences

take care
