hello everyone. i haven't posted in ages. i was intending to send a christmas post to give everyone a well wishing...a pall was cast over this intention today. this morning, round 6 am, my father died. he and i had had plenty of "issues", but none of them seem to matter now. i was raised by my grandparents and when my father escaped death 10 years ago, i thought i would be in the clear in that regard for many years to come. i thought that i would be fine in the event of his death. i have found this to be false. i have been a mess all day. i see little sense in this entire situation. i do find some solace,however, in the fact that in the past 10 years, my father was able to become for my little sister what he could never be for my older siblings and i. i don't really know what else to say. i don't know why i am posting any of this really. i suppose i am using the list as a panacea. a way to get my thoughts out of my head into the blind abyss of cyberdom. wishing you a merrier christmas than mine... ~stine __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
