Sometimes I forget my father's dead. It's easy to do here. Just visiting, home still a snapshot from the last time we were all there at once. His smile and my mother's laugh, wet with wine and glowing in warm orange candlelight. And a wicked glint in my brother's eye and my sister's baby blonde curls just peeking over the table as he chased her.

And then I remember that no matter how much I practise, I will never open a door to them.

But I have learned to open doors to friends, so that's a small victory to be proud of. And it's all right to grieve and be happy at the same time.

	...Because of it, people've blamed me for -- well, well, for one my mother's death. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sometimes I do, even if it's about as logical as pissin' into the wind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Depending which way the wind goes it's not always illogical. But wee aside, if you were truly selfish you wouldn't care if you had. And you do, don't you? (Reply to this) (Parent)
