The last time we saw each other was when I graduated from high school. He contacted me last January to meet up and he cancelled last minute. I have a lot of resentment and anger towards him , my mother did a great job at raising me with my step father but a part of me always wanted a relationship with my father. I'm really scared he lets me down but I'm willing to take that chance. He can't hurt me more than he has already.
THIS ("emboldened"). Focus on what matters to you now. Everything else (the resentment, the anger, the cancellation) ... To the wind.
Absolutely, life is too short to hold on to anger. 2 months ago, I lost someone very close to me and my children, every day since that happened, I wish I wouldn't have let my anger get in the way of saying or doing certain things. It's too late now but it's not too late to make other things right.
It's a very hard lesson to learn honey, this I know, but you will grow stronger for it...you already are! Wishing you a visit that exceeds your expectations...and if not then....they aren't worth it girl, it's their loss because you're pretty spectacular....❤

So it's not even ten am and I've already welled up with dumb tears twice.
I watched a tribute to stan lee by Looper and I got all emotional. AND then my friend texted me and was like "I'm thankful you're in a better place than last year" and I don't know if i'm hitting that Holiday feels, if i'm tired, or if I'm just an emotional person9 -
I was never a big fan of thanksgiving. Just too much stress and emotions out on a single day. I enjoy seeing people but wish people would just do something more often than this late in a year.
Sadly, now thanksgiving is the anniversary of my brother dying. This means some years the anniversary is thanksgiving day..
For this being the second anniversary I think I am having a pretty good day. Down a ton of weight, nice warm house, decent life. Nice to feel normal on a day I didn’t care about much before 2016. Gonna get some Chinese takeout later and cook a full tday meal tomorrow instead.
Enjoy your lives and loved ones people. Life isn’t a tv show. Characters can get written off at any point in time.10 -

It makes me sad when I see people posting that they're alone on holidays and have nobody to share or eat dinner with.8

Sending big hugs honey!!!❤ I too lost a loved one on a holiday...my dad on Valentine's Day....at first I resented everyone celebrating the day and if someone gave me something I'd be so upset about it....took years for me to realize that it's his day....he loved Valentine's day....but even if he didn't...I learned to use it as a day to celebrate his life..something I do in small ways every day...but on his anniversary every year I make it all about him and now the rest of my fam and friends do too...it sort of helps make the day more, ya know? It's so new for you and my heart breaks because it sucks and it's like in your face! Promise it will get better sweetie! Until then hugs and do your best...your plan sounds awesome!!!🤗2 -

i feel you on bad anniversaries, both my parents passed away over the holidays (mom on thanksgiving and dad on christmas)
to be super honest at this point it still pretty much sucks but i just fake it through the day bc your friends get tired of propping you up after awhile and i’m tired of bringing everyone down
there are little good moments though, like i made this killer cranberry sauce. trying to focus on that type of thing
hoping the rest of your day is good

I'm grateful everyday for my life. The earth is music to my ears and the people are like sun shine in my life. After a lot of sadness in my teen years, felling alone and guilt all the time.. After 15 years of struggle.. Now in my 30's I m thankful for all the good and the bad. Some how Im discovering who I'm and how strong I was and still am. I discovered the spark in me that I lost for a while. I fell again like a child, free and powerful. I'm thankful for all the bad things that happened to me in my childhood. Those things made me who I'm today... A strong women and a gentle soul 3

I am so sorry to hear that guys. I would be so lost without my mother, I know this response must feel trite but Id give you both a hug right now If i could. I have a similar response to my birthday and my sister's, she died in a car accident when she was 18. I am only one year apart in age and I carry survivors guilt with me, I wish I was in that seat instead sometimes. Always pondering how things could be different if she was still here. You just gotta keep going and remember that your loved ones would only want you to be happy.
XO.

Aw sweet sister!!!! Hugs and thank you lovely!!! Give my other sorella a big hug as well! Hope your day was as special as you both are to me....that is so very much!!!❤❤❤😘🤗👍💕😋1 -
I am grateful for my husband. He knows me better than anyone else, he has always backed me and even when I didn't deserve it, he forgave me. I'm also grateful for my dogs, who all started their lives with someone else, but give all of their hearts, every day. Neither of us are close to our families and we have been each other's family since the beginning in 1977.3

There was a fire two doors down from us. The alarms in the hallway went off and the entire hallway filled with smoke. Luckily it was contained and nothing major, but I completely PANICKED. I didn’t know how I was going to get my mother down a narrow smoked filled staircase. My heart was beating so fast I thought I was legitimately having a heart attack. We’ve always tried to “plan” for something like this, but I think in an event of a full on blaze we would have to go on the patio and have the fire men bring her down on their crane contraption. I honestly didn’t know what to do. Luckily when we got into the hallway a nice firemen approached us and said the fire was put out and we could go back in. I felt so POWERLESS in that moment though. I’ve been a wreck the entire day. I can’t handle stressful situations as well as I used too.
When I get anxious my sciatica flares up really bad.5 -

I am obsessed with leveling up. Life is hard enough as is, but with the wife and I both working two jobs, three kids under ten in the house, and my two boys back home... it’s a struggle, and we are both always keeping an eye open for another side huddle.
I don’t need/want to be rich. I just want to know what it feels like to pay bills, eat, and put gas in the car all at the same time.... that’s what is always on my mind.15 -
