Father's Day
On holidays such as Father's Day, David's absence is particularly felt. Doug's folks, Nani and Papa, are here, as well as David's sister, Sarah. It's good, as always, to be together. It still hurts that David's not with us and never will be again (at least not in the physical sense). We do believe that he's in heaven, happy, and at peace. There is some degree of comfort in that. Even though it's almost been three years (July 1, 2005 will be the third anniversary), I'm still grieving his death by suicide. I hope that someday I will have completed the grieving process, but I'm not sure that's even possible. Suicide carries a lifetime of consequences for the surviving loved ones.
Anyways, we are celebrating Father's Day. Sarah made a nice breakfast for all of us. We're going out for dinner with Aunt Anney and Garys at a Mexican place near Garys. Doug, Papa, and Sarah have gone to a car show. Here's to a Happy Father's Day to all you Dads out there!!! Enjoy your special day and your families and friends.
Take care,
Mary Wylie
