I hate how people who were not really affected by my Dad's death try to equate their grief with mine. My cousin, who lives in Michigan and never really talked to my Dad, keeps posting on Facebook how she's so broken up about this and she'll be here soon to be with me and we'll get through this together. Sorry. Has your life been turned upside down by the death of my father? I know it's a dick thing to say, but it's really starting to piss me off. I guess everything will be fine once she's here to tell me it's OK and to brag to everyone that she's pregnant. Whoopie. I guess I never realized that she'll be the one to make everything all better.
Sorry. It was just annoying me. Today was weird because we went to the office where they handle all the paperwork and such for cremation. Weird. Didn't see a chimney, so they definitely don't do it there. That wasn't my first clue. It's in an office park. Then we went to pick out flowers for the service. I'm still waiting for everything to hit me. I know I keep saying that, but it's the truth. I don't feel anything...just numb.
Today, Marcie asked me to stay in Orange Park until about a week after the memorial service. I pretty much figured I would, but I can't say that I'm not a bit anxious about it. I just want things to get back to normal. Well, it will be a new kind of normal, but we'll eventually get there. I also just want to go back to living with friends.
Alright, that's all I have for right now. Enjoy your day.
