Holidays and weekends - Yuk
When I worked for the State of Oregon, I always looked forward to the holidays and weekends; but things change and not always for the good. Since March 17th, I have begun to hate holidays and weekends. Some holidays you think about more than others but holidays are holidays. Now, I'm just trying to get through all the firsts without my sweetie. I got through Palm Sunday and Easter. Then there was Mother's day and Memorial Day. Now we are in June and I had to get through the first Sunday of June when I got my engagement ring and then June 7th - Larry's birthday and then Father's day. I still have to get through July 4th and July birthdays on the 14th and 19th and our anniversary on July 31 then on to Labor day, Columbus day, Veterans day,Thanksgiving, a December 7th birthday then Christmas and January 1, January 9th and Martin Luther King's birthday. Then February comes along with Valentines day and Presidents' day and that brings us to March and we are back to St Patrick's day - one whole year of firsts. I cant wait to get it over with.

Everyone told me this would be tough. It was, and just because the "firsts" are over for me (my wife died on June 14, 2006), the holidays and weekends haven't gotten much better. What I thought would happen, has happened - all of the support from friends, neighbors and family has dissapated - my daughter and I are on our own, save the intermittent phone call or email from a friend. Good luck to you and I hope it gets better.
I just got through my second year and I cant see that it has gotten any better. Hope you and your daughter are doing a little better.
