And tbh you're right, I still keep having the day play out over and over in my head, and even some of the days prior to that, it's definitely something that I feel like I should've paid more attention to, but only started to once it was too late for her.

And my Dad is the same, he tries his best for me and my Brother to put on a more relaxed persona, but I can tell that he isn't the same as he used to be.

And thanks Sheriff, I know that I am probably giving out too much personal information on this thread, but I truly appreciate that you've heard me out.

I hope that you and your Dad can find something to cheer about this Christmas, I know that I'm going to try on my end, but I don't think that It'll be a successful attempt.

…yeah, I understand and relate to that also, we lost my dad quite some years ago and it was never the same again…not for us and absolutely not for my mom who has now also passed…when we lost dad, it felt impossible to get through that sadness of thinking of him in death but whenever I think of him now, I think of him in life and I think of the laughter and the great times and the person he was…and that does bring joy…like a sweet to the bitter…your dad has you and your brother and that will help so much to give him that ‘cheer’ that you hope for him….what I’m trying to say is no, it won’t be the same but hopefully there’ll be many moments of smiles for you all as well in the person she was ….…
