Fucking Deejays...

Okay, they just played Christina Aguilera's "Hurt", which I had never actually paid any attention to.

NOW all I can think about is my dad.

Why not just play "The Christmas Shoes" next and I'll get the tub filled with water and a box of razor blades? Hey, why not some "Same Old Lang Syne"? Or maybe "The Leader Of The Band"? Maybe "Night Shift"? "

I expect to feel moments of sadness during the festivities of my brother's wedding. I plan to ask my uncle to play groom's father substitute by asking him to give the rehearsal dinner toast - just like he did for my wedding 15 years ago. My niece is starting to look more and more like her grandmother. One of my cousins, so help me, has my mother's mannerisms down pat. But, I think I can focus and not feel down for too much of the time.

My aunt-by-marriage better not be wearing my grandmother's opal ring! She wore it to my mother's memorial server of all the tacky things to do. My mother always suspected that Aunt Peggy took it and, sure enough, there it was on her finger at Mom's memorial service. I called one of my cousins about it (the woman is this cousin's step-mother and became the step-mother when my cousin was an adult). I'm pretty sure my cousin lied in aunt Peggy's behalf by saying she remembered when Peggy bought the ring. I am grateful I said something to somebody, though.

Family.

Can't live with'em, can't legally euthanize them.

But seriously, all the big events just don't feel right when loved ones aren't there anymore.

I love the song Hurt. It chills me every time I hear it. Christmas Shoes is beautiful too.

You'll get past this.
