Father's Day
Today is Father's day, and for the first time in 30 years I am fatherless. This is a very sad day for me. Making it worse, is that it falls one day before the 2-month anniversary of my father's passing.
I tried to avoid the holiday all toghter and I've done a pretty good job. I didn't buy a gift and attempted to keep from seeing comercials and other adverts. Things seemed to have worked pretty well. I aniticpated being very depressed today and that just doesn't seem to be the way things turned out. It's a good thing because I can't handle spending weeks of dysphoria having to struggle to get out of bed in the morning. (more so than usual.)
Looking today at father's and son's, I had to do something strange to be with my dad. I wore one of his shirts. I can't be with him, but I was close to him.
For those lucky enough to still have a father, good for you. For those fathers have a happy day.
