KatieC Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Today is my parent's 28th anniversary. Unfortunately, my dad passed away 3 months ago unexpectedly at a very young age. I have mixed feelings about the day. My heart goes out to my mother. I want to fix her pain but I know I can't. I decided to surprise her this morning when she woke up to an anniversary card and some flowers. My dad wasn't a flower-giving person so I wasn't trying to fill the void but rather brighten this day for her. She went to the graveside. She even brought our dog. She then went on a hike. All alone. I know that she needs that but it is hard to let her be alone. It's hard to let her hurt. But I know I can't fill the void that his passing has left. But today is hard for me. I can't even imagine being her. Since she is all alone in the house for a couple days, including today, I set her all up. I have romantic movies, comedic movies, junk food, etc. to take advantage of. Just hoping this gets easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayc Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 She is very lucky to have a daughter like you! She probably needed that time alone, but I'm sure she'll welcome your thoughtfulness, movies, junk food, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
