Rough Day

Gracious1014 · December 2013

Today is the 7th anniversary of the plane crash that took my dad and grandma from me & it's the first time since then that I've had to work on the 26th. I've always been able to wiggle my way out of it, but this year I had to work on either the 24th or the 26th and chose to have Christmas Eve off so I could spend it with LO and our family. I don't regret that decision but of course today has been super slow at work and has given me way too much time to think about everything. I so wish that my dad was able to be around to be a grandpa - he would love seeing his grandchildren grow.

Losses always seem so much more difficult around the holidays.

I'm so sorry, it's really rough when work is slow and you have that free time to dwell. I hope it gets better for you & try to keep yourself busy.

I am really sorry. I am sure they were with you as you celebrated with your family on Christmas Eve.

I'm so sorry. What a terrible loss. Sending hugs your way.

Thanks ladies.

I got home from work a little while ago to dinner ready (yay!) and LO with her first cold (boo!). Poor girl is super congested and her nose is a faucet. I don't foresee much sleep tonight but hoping she'll at least let me get some extra snuggles in.

I am so sorry for your loss. Today is also the anniversary of one of my husbands best friends dying in a house fire. Nineteen years ago. Loss is never easy - having it this close to Christmas just makes it sting even more. Hugs. I hope your LO feels better too!
