Really, December?

[13secrets]

On my way to work today I found out that that Charles, my biological father, had just died of cancer. Just this morning. Now, I'm not a Charles cheerleader, only having the foulest memories of the man. But I was pretty emotional and upset--one more death, one more conflict...

My condolences. You may not have had much affection for the guy, but death is still so very final. *hugs*

Right? I always thought I wouldn't care, always assumed and acted like he'd died already.

Thank you for the hugs, I needed them!

Hi Tarnished! Thank you so much, *hugs* and smiles. I'm okay, December is just not my month!

A loss always hurts o matter if we were close, if we knew them personally or if they had been farthest from our minds. Many times I tell myself that most likely I won't cry for my Father or my Mother, but until the time comes I won't know what my actions will be. Be strong in this change that has come upon your life.

That is so true, thank you. From the time I was 8 or so I started running scenarios through my mind about what I'd do if Mama died, and what Mama would do if Charles died.

I knew Mama wouldn't hesitate, would probably call Granny and say "good riddance!" But for me mourning Mama, it always started with me calling my brother, and waiting. That didn't change until I grew up a bit and got some friends, and Seth's family.

Anyways, thank you for your strong words :).
