My kids used to ask why I kept the pictures of their Dad (with them) in our box of photos. Well, he is their Dad still. About a year ago I was looking for S17's Scocial security card so he could get his job. I came across a bunch of photos when the boys were little. I cried for 45 minutes. I went through them this past winter looking for some specific pictures and didn't shed a tear.
I just try to keep busy on these now "un-days". The next one is next Tuesday...his birthday but also S14's graduation. Going to the graduation and then back to work. Problem solved!
I guess we all have to figure out our own ways to deal with these emotion packed days. A party always sounds good to me.
