Extreme sadness
May. 30th, 2008 10:44 amI got home from the VA Hospital about 10:30, I cried a lot in the car on the way home, and finally let loose in the driveway of our house. ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
renniemom picked up the kids at her parents so she got home a little bit later. I can't find the picture I had of him in his Marine Uniform... I lay down on the couch and fall asleep. renniemom went through pictures looking for ones of my dad. I'm not sure when she went to bed. We got the call at 1:46am this morning that he was gone. His wife said the doctor called her about half an hour after she left. I tried to go to bed to sleep, but it was just too hot. I ended up going back to the living room about 3am and going through the pictures myself, laying on the couch and finally dozed off sometime around 4:30 (I know because I was watching Dr Who at the time and it had just ended). renniemom woke up and came out to check on me so I finally went back to bed and slept until this morning.
When the alarm went off this morning I knew I had to keep my mind busy, yes I'm at work. Taking C to daycare I was tempted to tell her about her Papa Jon, but I didn't think it would be fair for me to do that to her. We'll need to do that tonight.
As long as I keep busy it doesn't hurt too much, but a piece of me died last night.
Rest Well
