I’m spending the weekend wrapped up in my little family. My dad died yesterday morning after a tumultuous couple of years and my feelings are a little all over the board (relief, sadness, exhaustion, anger, you name it). We’re spending the weekend finishing the siding on the house (which should be done tonight) and perhaps heading up to the cabin on Saturday night to spend Sunday up there in the quiet.
Here’s to huckleberries, home, hugs, and happiness.
Hi! – I found you from APW and am excited to read more about your adventures in Idaho. And, of course, I’m sorry for your loss.
Thanks for your kind words. I’m glad to have someone else following our lovely adventures!
P.S. I’m headed to your blog ohhhhh right now. 🙂
I’m so sorry for your loss Beth. I hope you were able to take some time to work out your feelings. Let me know if you need anything.
Thanks Andee, I really appreciate your words and offer of help. I’m mostly doing okay but this whole sorting out my feelings has been sort of complicated; I’m sort of thinking it always will be, and that might be okay.
I just followed a link from a comment you made on APW today – my dad died a little over 4 years ago, and I just wanted to send you a virtual hug… it’s a tough, tough thing to go through and can feel very lonely at times, even with the best support system. It’s okay to have very complicated feelings on the whole issue (in a weird way, I was also relieved, despite the sadness). My feelings about his passing are still complicated and I think they always will be.
Also… I’m not a huge Gray’s Anatomy fan, but this is one of the truest things I’ve seen or heard (short as it is), in my experience, and somehow, it made me feel more understood: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkM3vO6i8wI&feature=related
hey Beth, I hopped over here from your comment on my blog. I’m so sorry to hear about your Dad. <3
