Its been just over 9 months, the busy work is over now, not sure what will happen now, will the grief roll in, or will it still come in short bursts. This past week I was off work, and spent the week getting everything ready for the garage sale of dads things. I am keeping a few of the tools that I have memories attached to. Things like the hammer I always had to bring him. The Crowbar he always used on every project we worked on. Putting in the oak flooring, installing countless ceiling fans, when he came to my house to help me fix the leaking under the sink. Today we ate food from one of his favorite places, the last time we did that was when it was his birthday last May. This past May was rough, as was mothers day and fathers day. But I am still going forward, so is mom. Just needed a place to write this and get it out. I know it will never end, and you never get over it, and it will come up at the oddest times, and the strangest situations, but it will get easier. But I think now its going to get a little more real as it settles in more since the work is mostly done. I still have some of his projects to finish, and will keep maintaining Mom's house and yard for her. But it needs to be done.
