out and about

today's my rest day, and being father's day, my family went to visit my dad's gravesite. it still feels abit sureal. i remember last father's day, my dad had been diagnosed with cancer and had almost finished his chemo and radiation. he was so positive that he was gonna get better.like my mum says...man proposes, but god disposes. most days i try to not think about my dad, because the pain is choking, and all consuming. hopefully down the road i'll be able to (as cliche as it sounds) celebrate his life, but at the moment its tough to get beyond how much i miss him and the void that his passing has left in the family...

later in the day we met up with one of my cousins for a meal, which included dessert...a sundae for my mum and a peach tart for me. haven't had one one those in ages. kind of reminded me of the time my bud az and i used to mug for the A's with a student's meal for sustanence.sigh. those were such simple times. had to skip a second snack to allow myself the tart, but it was worth it :)
