Ok, this one was really hard to do, but i really needed to. I took this photo at the lake the other day just to remember how beautiful it really was. I thought that this day (my parents anniv.) would be really hard, and it turned out to be a perfect day and this just journals about some of my feelings on that day.

Journaling

Bittersweet.
So many things are
just that way now. This particularly beautiful day we took the boat out to the lake. It was the day mom and dad were supposed to celebrate their 30th anniversary. Mom didnt go as she is still not comfortable on the boat, but spent time with a friend. It was a good day. It was beautiful weather, spending time laughing and remembering with family, and just relaxing and enjoying the good things of life. But, you also feel the sadness and pain. How can it be such a perfect day, when its also such a terrible day? You cant dwell on it, you just have to take it for what it is. Another day to enjoy life, and we were surrounded by it, and in the presence of Dad. It almost felt as if our day was perfect because Dad was happy looking over us just being together and doing the things that made him and all of us happy. Which, in turn would make it a perfect day.
