Feelings

Ok, the plug has been removed from the well in which my emotions were hiding.

This afternoon I was reading through a book of poems that my father had written some years ago. I was looking for a poem that I might want to read out at his funeral. The following poem opened the floodgates.

Don’t Say Goodbye

Don’t say goodbye when you’re leaving
Don’t say goodbye if you care.
It’s upsetting, and could cause grieving
So simple if you’re not there.

The word itself means forever
That’s so true, you can’t deny.
If you have a friend, just remember
Say ’see ya’ and not goodbye.

More about my me and my father

If there’s one thing I’ve been conscious of, it’s being true to myself, and not trying to be or do what other people expect in such a situation. As a result, I’ve found that I have no significant feelings about my dad’s death. I felt sadder about Deidre losing her sunglasses Sunday night than I did about my dad dying.
