He died suddenly about six years ago, and boy, oh boy is it hard when I see men who look like him or act like him or even who look like the same age as he was when he died. I also get really angry at them (poor guys!) for being alive when my dad isn't! <BR/><BR/>but what I thought of when I read this entry, was that it might be appropriate, if someone notices you're teary, or if you feel it's okay, to say "you remind me a lot of dad." i forget sometimes that even though my facial expressions often say more than I want them to, people have no idea what I'm really thinking unless I 'use my words'. <BR/><BR/>with love, k.kati bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01102662494014957419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12185426.post-67203218272372202822007-02-19T15:15:00.000-05:002007-02-19T15:15:00.000-05:00Jennifer,Thank you for your insights and thoughts....Jennifer,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your insights and thoughts. I'll be returning to see what new things you've brought up.<BR/><BR/>I encourage you to keep working on your life balance, and get more comfortable with the male patients. I know when I first started as a CNA I was very depressed thinking my parents could end up in a facility like the one I did my clinicals in; and it was suppsed to be a **good** one!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
