I think about all the trouble I've been in and what would he have to say about that? And what would he have to say about the man I'm going to marry? What advice would he have about my job? I have no doubt that if he were still alive my life would probably be very very different...J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03366659424205890367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773709208108297978.post-36710429481975585332013-07-10T04:33:41.218-05:002013-07-10T04:33:41.218-05:00Gosh...Melissa.

I can't imagine what you're going through but I do know a little about depression, and it's a silent killer. My heart goes out to you and your family. <br /><br />www.reesecarrozzini.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08484666688055556918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773709208108297978.post-77875658671261232582013-07-10T02:09:45.097-05:002013-07-10T02:09:45.097-05:00Such a thought-provoking post.

If I were you, I'd wonder the same.

My sister and I even wondered if there were more ads this year and more sad card commercials that normal or if we were just suddenly more aware of it.

Even after all these years I still want to know why, and why he thought we'd be better off without him. It's very painful to live without those answers. Hold tight to the beautiful memories of your dad, and may they bring you peace.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04967036443580250272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773709208108297978.post-17284404866600547692013-07-09T17:24:09.724-05:002013-07-09T17:24:09.724-05:00Wow... you write here with such open honesty and f...Wow... you write here with such open honesty and feeling.

I am still pretty young at 21, so it has had a huge impact on my life. I feel like there are many things I wish I could ask him but know I will never have the chance. So sorry for your loss.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08183564783598830919noreply@blogger.com
