On December 20th it will have been a yr since my Dad passed away. He was 53. He had a massive heart attack(not his first) while driving to get the paper and a coffee after having some new windows delivered. Last yr I was ok(or still in shock)but this year I'm really having a hard time with the holiday season. I just can't seem to get excited or in a festive mood. I've always been the strong quiet one in our family. I rarely cry and never talk about my own problems or how they affect me. I'm the listener, the one you come to with your problems. Latley I've found myself just breaking into tears for what seems like no reason what so ever. I hear a song that reminds me of him and I cry, see something that reminds me of him same thing. It's making me crazy. I think about all the things he won't be here for like Rachel's graduation and stuff like that. Anyone got any advise on how to get through this time of year. I'd just skip it altogether but I have a six year old daughter and need to snap out of this so she can at least have a good Christmas.
