Depression....
I think I figured out why I have been so depressed today... at least in part.
Today is the fourth year anniversary of my father's death. I was thinking about him the past few days. I drove by the C.J. Brown Reservoir recently and reflected on the memories of my father and I going to the reservoir when I was a youth. We both liked to go swimming and back in the 1980s the reservoir was a really nice place. It has lost a lot of its former budget so is nothing like it was (no concession stand, no lifeguards, etc...). Fond memories.
People often say, "You need to get over it." It being a death in the family. But I don't want to "get over" my father's death. I don't want to forget. I want to remember him, the good AND the bad times.
I miss him a lot.
