Fridays are never anyones friend but today I'm am just emotional and physically drained.
Not many would know but I attended a funeral Wednesday for my wife's grandma (granny).
She was a good old duck, also happy to see you when you dropped past.
I guess age caught up with her. She had alzheimers which was quite a quick onset, she knew when something was said wrong and she corrected it after.

She has now past and is no longer in pain, and has rejoined her long past husband but being a pretty close family it has hit hard.
I hate seeing my wife like this at the best of times but this has cut me deep personally to.

I had to bury my grandpa when I was 15. I carried him to his final resting spot. Was the hardest thing I've had to do so far in my life. He was taken by cancer.. He "bet" it once and the no more than 18 months later was gone due to coming back twice as hard..

I lost a good friend when I was 14 due to shark attack in adelaide. He was in a band. His mates tried to play his favourite song, the OC theam song. They couldn't finish it and I can no longer listen to it either.

So all these things have come flooding back this past week and it's been tearing me apart inside. I gotta stay strong for the wife as she was very close, and trying to explain it to the girls, well we've tried but can't..

I'm now sitting at work on the shoitter trying to control myself..
Fark its hard.. Today is going to be hard...

Hey Kallen, thats not good mate, take it easy and look at the positives in your life, do not dwell on the negatives. I like you lost my best mate at a young age 17 due to a car crash and was a pall bearer, worst day of my life as he and i worked in the same office with desks next to each other, bloody hard to get over every time i looked at his desk and still over 40 yrs on i still get the sads when i get reminded about it. keep your chin up and focus on the good stuff mate.

Sorry to hear of your loss, mate. As the others have said, let it all out. Give your family lots of hugs and kisses.
