You'd think that after the entry I just posted that I would have a great weekend. *sigh* Nope. For some reason, Sunday was a really bad day. Well, not "some reason." I know why it was bad. Sunday was a combination of things. First off, I was cold all day. Second off, sometimes I have moments of weakness. No matter how hard I try to push it away, sometimes I miss her. It happens. But that's not even the worst part. While at work, my coworkers began talking about a girl who used to work at Blockbuster. Apparently, her Dad died recently.

They kept remarking that he'd been really sick for a long time, and he was so young. I felt my stomach seize up. He died of cancer; it wrapped around his spine. They just kept talking about, and every word hurt more. I don't know why I can't get over anything. It's like I just won't let go, I'm too stubborn to accept anything. There's no reason that I should get this upset about Dad, after three years. There must be something wrong with me.

Yesterday wasn't that much better. I had a panic attack. I hate them. I hate them so much. It was sort of at work. If you know me well enough, there are tell tale signs when I'm plummetting. And for some reason, the knowledge that I'm going to panic, just triggers an even more intense attack. I don't know why, but certain mental triggers just. . .make it worse. I fought it for a few hours at work, but I nearly lost it on the way home. All night, it was a huge force of will to hold it. After I passed out for a while, I was ok. But I had the terrifying knowledge that I was close to that chasm. I hate it. Few things make me feel as alone as that.

But, today is a new day. Each day that I can wake up is a chance for a new smile. Just keep your head up, Narzack.

My mom died when I was born. That is still hard for me to think about, even though I don't remember it. My best friend's dad died when we were in 6th grade. Sometimes we just talk about our parents. Our situations aren't identical, but it helps to know that there are other people out there who care.

Kyle... it's totally natural to still feel the hurt, and to have that hurt seem as intense as it was when it happened. And I can't agree more, you never know who's secretly hurting. Sometimes, all someone needs to hear is that someone else is hurting too-so share your story. It really will feel better, the more you open up about your dad.

I love you, and am definitly rooting for ya.

OOPS! I forgot one more really IMPORTANT thing to help you....Talk to people about your dad....When yoiur coworkers were talking about the girl's father just passing away, that could have been the perfect opportunity to share a little of your experience. It really helps and makes people more aware of who you are and where you came from. Talking to others may also help them. You never know who is secretly hurting. SHARE, SHARE, SHARE a part of you with others....it helps.... :) I am always here for you to encourage you, to love you, to point you in the right direction, and to listen to you. By the way, any word from Pastor H?

Kyle, no one EVER gets over losing someone that they love and has been a part of.....death is a part of LIFE and your dad's death was the beginning of NEW LIFE for him, one that he looked forward to. Don't EVER feel like you have to get over him.....something would be a little off if you DID get over him. His memory is what you need to hang on to and never forget him.... I am very sorry to hear of your attack....I keep praying for you! I love you and miss you! Stay warm! :)
