I'm sorry melly. Thankfully not lost a parent but have other close relatives and the anniversaries keep coming round.
Raise a glass to him and hold all those good memories tight.

Its weird how 12 years on it can still hurt, pain is different now but no less painful.

The first year its raw and you have the first birthday, first Christmas etc, then its big life events (birth of my nephews and niece)
As well as when you would have needed them (so i have felt it the past 18 months)
It doesn't stop, it changes over time.

Day 3 of 12 but shift
Walking tons
Very tired
Sorted energy and car insurance today so am stuck

elsien

How do you mean, stuck? Is that a typo or am I missing something?
If you're doing such long shifts are you getting extra days off to make up for it?
Please try not to do too much and run yourself into the ground.

No off Sat and Sun
Have applied for the energy fund to lose some of the bill hopefully next i do it with water.
This till 23rd Dec, then will see whether i end up on days.
Stuck because I have agreed payment plans that wont be doable without earning.
