Does the Bitter Bus Stop?

I never claim to have all the answers or any.

I believe Time is the only one that knows and from what I have experienced and learned, in Time maybe you can start to look at differently. Maybe the bitterness will shift to a joke. Maybe the bitterness, won’t be bitterness anymore, it’s now just the experience that was for you. You now just have the story and the memory that you remember and share. Maybe the bitterness shifts into gratitude.

I don’t know. I’m still working through mine. It hasn’t even been 2 months since my Dad has been gone.

What I can say that I know in this moment, I am grateful.

I watched as my dad did what he could to be as strong as he could till the day of my wedding. He got up and walked many times during the day the month before the big day to get himself strong. I truly was blown away.

I was the last one to “send off” of the kids into marriage land. My mom, dad and I joked many times that we didn’t know if it would ever happen! Hahaha! I’m a handful as Alex will share and I’ve been kinda doing my own thing for some time…41 years to be exact.

I am so grateful he was there that day because I know there are people that were not granted that wish.

So when you take in the picture I have of him walking me down the aisle, I pray you see the love that is fiercely there from both of us. I’m so proud of us on that day.
