I'm at an irritating stage in the grief obstacle course where everything reminds me of my Dad.
I cannot go a day without somehow interjecting to people who ALREADY KNOW THIS, "I have a father. He died. I have a dead father.
Maybe not in so many words, but that's definitely the message I'm conveying.
I went to dinner with my friend, Jim tonight and I think I brought Dad up, in stories or whatnot at least a half dozen times. Thankfully, Jim is patient, kind and a good friend.
And have I mentioned my dead dog Lola recently? No? Oh, well I miss her. And I'd like another dog, but I'm traveling too much.
Have I mentioned I travel all the time? And that my father died and that I miss my dog, Lola?
I feel like a broken record.
And not an interesting one.
I said over and over and over again, this dance is going to be a drag.
