Need some cheering up

[pebbles]

I try not to get too personal on this forum, but I really need some cheering up from the PS family.

Today is the anniversary of the day my dad died. He died 9 years ago today from a sudden heart attack. The last time I saw him was the night before when I was on the phone with my now-husband and he came into the family room and mentioned something about the football game I was watching then told me good night. My family has really never been the same since he died.

I''ve been extra crabby with my kids today and I feel so bad about it.

I guess I just need a {{{hug}}}}.

Oh Pebbles. Big hugs from me.

Both of my parents have passed away, and the only day that is ''expected'' of me to be sad is on the anniversary''s of their deaths. It is a sad day, and I''ve found that nothing can really make it any happier.

Sometimes you just need to be sad... I''m sure you can make it up to your kids tomorrow. Just give them extra kisses tonight.

(((((hugs))))) to you pebbles.
i know these kind of days with significance can be especially tough. keep your thoughts positive and make your dad proud.

 

[LadyluvsLuxury]

I''m so sorry Pebbles ((((((hugs))))))

 

[Kaleigh]

I''m so sorry Pebbles, big (((((((HUGS))))))) from me too. Give your kids extra hugs, and don''t be too hard on yourself. I know that when my brothers anniversary comes around each year, I am very sad too. Sometimes you need to allow yourself to be sad.

Oh hugs Pebbles!

I know how you feel, having lost my father over 11 years ago. Just remember all those happy times you had together, and remember it''s okay to be sad.

And make sure you kiss and hug your husband and children and let them know how much you love them too.

Anniversaries such as these sneak up on us...even when we''re think we''re passed this, we realize we''re not. Be easy on yourself and your family today....

 

[MelissaSue]

sending hugs your way! I can''t imagine how hard it had to be for you losing your father so suddenly. I can''t even think about it without getting teary eyed. Anyway.. its completely normal to be sad on the anniversary of his death. I don''t know what else to say, other than we''re all here for you!

 

[Morticia]

{{{HUGS}}} to you. I''m so sorry for your loss and can''t even imagine how hard today must be for you and your family.

Sending big hugs your way Pebbles. I lost my Dad in April of this year so I understand how you feel. He was 84 and had suffered from Alzheimer''s for the past few years, but it is never easy to say goodbye.

Oh, Pebbles! Big {{{{HUGS}}}} ! I can truly sympathize. I just passed the one year anniversary of my father''s sudden death (Sept. 20th). The whole week leading up to that day, I kept looking back to what I was doing...for some reason every detail is frozen in my mind for all the days leading up to it and especially that last phone call and conversation. The anniversary itself was almost a blur -- I just tried to keep busy...several days later, I completely broke down because I had tried to avoid it so hard.

Allow yourself this day to feel sad and remember all the wonderful times you spent with your father. I''m sure your children will understand. Just make sure you give them some extra hugs and kisses tonight.

Sending big *HUGS* your way!!

I can''t say I know how you feel, but I can imagine that if I was in your situation, I would likely be feeling the exact same way...smile and remember the good times, cry if you feel like it, and know that he would have wanted you to go on and live your life in happiness.

I hope all the cyber-love from the PS family helps!!! Come back and let us know if you need more of it!!

I think it''s totally normal to be sad on occasions such as these; my mom still recognizes her''s mother''s passing anniversary, and it''s been 25 years.

Take a little extra time to remember what you loved about him, and know that your memories will be with you always.

 

[MrsFrk]

Oh, big ((((((hugs))))))).
My father died 15 years ago on September 23rd.
The car crash that ended up causing his death was on December 3, 1989.
Those two days are just terribly sad for me, and many days in between, even after 15 years. I don''t believe you ever really recover from it.

Pebbles, I''m so sorry...this must be a terribly hard day for you and your family.

Like goldengirl said, remember the happy memories with him and hold them close to your heart.

I know how you feel and it sucks.
My Dad passed away halloween night 1999 this time of year is always a downer.
All one can do is too keep on keeping on.

You and your family is in my prayers.

 

[Angel7]

I know how you feel and what you are going through and it's hard.

I think it's ok to be sad and crabby today. Give yourself time today to just be. You have every right.
We are always here for you!

Here are some flowers to cheer u up!
