The 2nd Christmas

In the shower I do some of my best thinking. 
This morning I was thrown by the turn of events.

My thoughts from this morning:
I have so much to do before the company arrives. 
I should ask my Dad to bring his tools and take a look at the shower drain that needs some repair.

At that point the tears came.  They flowed freely.  They mixed with the water from the shower and as I stood there and cried I realized it is ok not to be happy all the time and while I know my Dad wouldn't want me to be sad all the time, I think it is alright to be sad and take a moment and embrace that sadness. 

This morning I embraced the sadness of my 2nd Christmas without my Dad.
