...

Hi friends! What a long week it has been:(
I am still so drained!
My dads viewing was very nice; lots of his co-workers came to show support. They had a lot of funny stories to share about my dad. The funeral Saturday was rough; I decided to be a "paul bearer" and help carry my dad, along with my husband, 3 brothers and my dads brother in law. I just have to keep reminding myself that he is in a better place now. Christmas may be rough at my moms because he was always there too. Next week we will have to begin moving his things out of his apartment by the end of this month, not looking forward to that.

Tomorrow is my 31st birthday... not too excited about that.
Today I am celebrating it with 2 of my best girls and also with my sister in law. Lunch then dinner later. That should cheer me up a bit.

I feel so moody, happy one minute... sad/cranky the next. I guess thats normal.
I probably won't post much the next few days but I will be by to visit all of you!

Love,
Noelle ♥

Big hugs coming your way honey. Enjoy your birthday...and yes, your dad is in a better place with no pain. That's what I think about my sister...she doesn't have to deal with the pain and hurt...even though I miss her so much.

Happy birthday early!

Happy Birthday doll.
You have had a turbulant end to the year .
I think the emotional rollercoaster is very normal and one you should ride.
It is important to mourn and feel.

Have a great time out and try and put some joy back into each day little by little.
You will get there.
Love to ya!

Happy Birthday dearest Noelle! I know you're not too much in the celebrating mood right now but I do hope you realize just how very special you are!!

I'm glad your dad's wake and funeral went well. It's a closure we all need and now that it's done and over with, I'm sure your dad would want you to go on with your life and just remember the good memories:-) Love you! xoxo
