Almost Two Months Out
Almost two months out since the death of my dad.
I miss Dad however, I am alright. Although still sleeping a bit extra, I am pretty much back in the routine of things. I've been blogging, selling my books, [http://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/SpikedUp-Frog?store=allproducts&keyword=SpikedUp+Frog]
hanging on social media-- nope, I don't do Facebook (tm)-- exercising and training the dog, and rearranging snow in the yard. And feeding the birds outside, playing with the cats inside, and feeding the indoor frogs. And back to my routine at the gym as well.
I'm not feeling any sort of "hole" from Dad's demise, not wailing as people who have no hope do, not consuming vast quantities of food. Nothing self-destructive. Life is for the living.
I will always remember Dad.
I'm writing a second novel and some essays.
The idea that non-theists have no hope of meeting up with dead people in a future after is probably accurate for most of us and definitely accurate for this non-theist. I don't find that thought particularly distressing.
This life is enough.

You're doing great. Keep doing what you are doing, and know that we are thinking about you.
The beautiful tapestry of your life, woven in colors provided by the threads of those lives which touched yours,be they for long duration or simple brevity, is held together by the master threads of the love you shared with your dad. Remember,always, that, in a very real sense, the investment you made in each other will preserve him in your heart and very being. You are his legacy and the validation that his was a life well lived. May the rich memories, though they may be a cause of melancholy for you now, soon provide you with comfort and strength.
