I am emotional mess today.
My dad died when I was 12 years old. Today would have been a big birthday for him and I can not stop crying. I don't know why this one is the hardest for me. You would think or hope that after all this time it would get easier. Something about this year is just making me an emotional mess. I only wish he got to know his grandson.

I can empathize with you. My father died the day after my 13th birthday. I am sorry that you have to go through this.
It gets - not better - but perhaps less horrifically emmotional as times goes on. By that I mean that yes, you are sad but you appreciate what it is that you do have. True, I wish that my father had been with me for my HS and college graduation, my wedding, the birth of his grandson but he wasn't. I consider myself lucky in that my faith in God lets me know that my father is with me always.
I also appreciate my husband all the more. Liam is blessed to have Wry as a father. I didn't have one at all (dad got really sick when I was five and lingered for 8 years before he died) and I can see how wonderful it would ahve been to have had a father by seeing the way that Wry interacts with Liam.
Cherish the memory of your father and witness how he is, in sense, present in the life of your son through your husband.
I wasn't 12, I was 16, but I hear you. birthdays and holidays are always still so hard for me. Hugs for you today!
I'm sorry.
Today is also my Gran's birthday. I was extremely close with her and my sister keeps posting memories and pictures on Facebook. It's really messing me up (I mean, I'm hormonal anyway!).
Hugs to you!!
It truly is the most magical place on earth! Disney 2011
