I don’t like January 16th

January 16, 2013 by · 23 Comments

I have nothing against the number or the day of the week. I mean yes, it’s “hump” day so I am 1/2 way to the weekend. 
But this day always sucks. 

You may or may not know, but my Dad passed away when I was 20 so about 9 years ago. 
And today is his birthday. 
I hate days like this, because 
I hate reminders that my life isn’t the same. 
I wish there was a book that tells you what is going to happen in your life. So you are prepared. So you can hug the person you love a little longer. To never fight since the days are numbered. 
But that isn’t how life goes. 

So this post is dedicated to my dad. 
I miss him everyday obviously, but today I feel it more.
xoxo

    Lauren I’m sorry this day has to be a painful one for you. I lost my dad when I was 14yrs old so I understand how tough days like this can be. Sending good thoughts your way! :)

    I understand this completely. I lost my mom when I was 15. So her birthday. father’s day. anniversary of losing her. etc. they are all hard. and it never gets easier. this year will be 12 years and it’s still like it was yesterday.

    my thoughts are with you girl.

    I feel really terrible about what I said at happy hour/dinner tonight, L! I’m so, so sorry for your loss and for the sadness that a reminder like a birthday can bring.

    I had a great time tonight, let’s do it again soooooon! I could talk about wedding stuff with you all day long!!
