This is a very emotional week for me

[lost-in-nj]

yesterday would have been my fathers 90th birthday...

he was A LOT older than my mom
he died of CHF in 1982 and I still miss him so much

tomorrow I go with my daughter to NY for her first fitting for her wedding gown

and Friday is her 25th birthday......

my problem is my almost ex husband was with me when my dad died and Jess was born
how can I not remember those times!!!???

BUT

we are celebrating her birthday on Friday with or without stbx
and I will be emotional when she puts on her gown
but I am happy for her and I love her fiance
he's wonderful to her

and my dad knows I still live him...


oh and I go on vacation on the 20th!!
so i am looking at the good......
more than the sad!!!

5. Pics by Friday - promise

I went and filled out all the paperwork *sigh* and they are replacing the brakes, pads and rotors, wipers and floormats and I get it tomorrow. They decided to do all that at the last minute when they realized that my dad was friends with the owner of the dealership. I tried not to be a namedropper when I went there earlier :D
