alee_grrlWell, today would have been my dad's 69th birthday and it hit me kind of hard. Mostly because I can imagine just how many terrible jokes he would have made about being 69. It also hit me that he won't be around to make Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy references when I turn 42 in November. So I shall have to remember to do so in his honor.
It's so strange to think he's been gone from the mortal plane for over six years now. Sometimes I still find myself thinking of things I want to share with him, or wish I could get his advice on. Even if he didn't know what to offer, he could usually make me laugh. Though he could just as easily make me huff in exasperation. So I wish you happy birthday, dad, wherever your spirit may be. You live on in my heart and memory.

For those who may have wondered, I've been doing okay otherwise. I'm back to working in the office four days a week which was an adjustment after working solely from home for some months. Things have been fairly quiet for me, and I'm still working on various writing projects in my free time.
I'm even participating in the Rough Trade challenge this month (the theme for July's challenge was Paranormal Romance). You can find my project file and story posts here: A Merry War by vMures. I've got three parts done so far.
When July is done, I'll go back to working on Hanging On. I just needed a short break from it for a while.
So that's the state of me. I'm heart-sore today, but that's okay. I'm being gentle with myself and trying to give myself room to grieve. Sometimes that's the best thing we can do.
Much love to you all. <3

Date: 2021-07-14 07:01 pm (UTC)I'll definitely post here when I get A Merry War done on Rough Trade. That will be the rough draft version, of course. I'll probably let it sit for a bit and then polish it up to post on ao3.
