[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 413024, member: 1514"] Ahhh Steely, so you have a combo of both of my parents in one. Sigh. Tough situation. Ya know, even though I loved my dad with all my heart, he wasnt a saint. He did some bad stuff to me too. I have just come to terms with it as an adult and forgiven the man because I know he didnt know any better. I also had to deal with my mom dying 5 years ago and that was not easy on me either but it wasnt as hard as my dad's death. Of course, I didnt have the whole funeral show thing going on either. It was just Tony and my kids and we kind of sat here and looked at each other and said...well I guess thats over huh? I really think I sort of felt the weight of both my parents deaths when my dad died because so many of the people who knew both of them were at his funeral. Many didnt know my mom had died so I kept getting asked about her. It was hard. I have no idea what we can think about for those who dont believe. I dont know about my mom. With everything she did to me, where is she? Ya know? Who knows. Im not really religious. My step-mom just kept us all going at the house while my dad was sick and then after he died while planning the funeral, so none of us would start getting teary...she said we should be like Tara in Gone with the Wind...We shall think about that tomorrow! Said with a smile. [/QUOTE]
