Memorial Day Sucks.

5 years ago today, I found out my Dad was dying. I was in my sisters van about to leave the camp site we were staying at. She wasn't pulling out even though the rest of my family had left. She mumbled something under her breath that I didn't really care to hear.
"This will be your last camping trip with Dad, I hope you had fun."

Ugh, I hate it when people are so negative.

Sorry to hear about your Dad, but heck if he's pulled out for 5 years that's great!!

No he just completly turned to a vegtable about two months after we found out and he has been sitting in a hospital bed ever since, but I guess I should be happy about that.

and I am sorry but that was sooo not nice to say. I apologize if you dislike neativity but this is my journal and it felt good to get out some of the things I was thinking..that's what it is for. May I remind you that all of your entries aren't the most optomistic either.

Oh, I wasn't meaning that you were being negative. It just seemed by what your sister had said about being the last summer. I completely agree by having a way to vent. It works.

Sorry about your dad. I didn't realize that he was in a coma or something similar. Maybe my choice of words weren't the greatest. Sorry

Ok... I apologize I may be a bit hormonal as well. I thought it was weird because we usually get along quite well. I understand what you ment now as I read it back, thank you for your concern :)

Now might be a good time to find out. Once he's gone he's gone forever.

My mom was killed over 7 years ago. I still regret some things, like the night I didn't call her two days before she was killed.

It's not easy, it's not supposed to be. But if you have anything to say or anything you need to hear now's the time.

No mentally he is gone...and I am like a million miles away so it isn't like I can go see him. I do when I get leave but he just sits in the hospital bed and stares....I just wrote this to get some thoughts out of my head.

Oh I see, I'm sorry I misunderstood the way he was gone.

I don't see my family either much, not even on most holidays. I'm not a good one to give advise on family issues, I know that. It's just I do know how I feel about actually losing a parent. Then again, it sounds like you do too.
