I was having a day yesterday probably why I posted that, garage door spring broke and we can't even open manually till they come to fix. Luckily hubby had taken my car out so its in driveway. He was having a meltdown and it affected me.

I feel the same way I use to be sweet and now I feel a bit hardened.

My dad was my best friend and it threw me when I lost him, that was in 2000. Took me years but now I have fond happy memories instead of gut wrenching sadness.
