I am dealing with things a lot better than I was a few days ago. I still can't think about my parent's living separate lives without thinking of all the things the will never happen again.

I will miss the family dinners on Sunday and the relaxing by the pool and the trips to Topeka............

Maybe I haven't made as much progress as I would like to think. Fucking emotions.

The way I am keeping myself sane is by reminding myself of something I heard while watching the documentary Southern Comfort. In it, Robert stated that he could either make everyone around him happy and himself miserable, or he could try to make himself happy and those around him miserable.

I know that everything is for the best.

That knowledge still won't stop the pain.
