Hi Guys

[theredspinel]

Been of PS for a bit; sure the addict in me feels it was much longer then it really was but there you go!

Just popping in to say hi really. I havnt thought much about CS or jewellery in general in a while, but cleaning out some stuff the other day got me remembering and I knew I needed to pop by.

Maybe I'll get one of my CS's out and wear it over the coming festive period; maybe it'll help me feel the joy I used to feel when wearing CS before.

I'm trying to balance missing my dad and feeling joy in everyday normal life things (like jewellery) and it's hard. I still think about my dad almost every hour of every day; only when I'm alone. Friends and family are at the stage where it's awkward to talk about him now, perhaps being a case of' I should be over it by now'. I can't help that deep empty feeling of missing an integral pillar of my entire foundation.

Life goes on.

How is everyone else? Will be nice to "see" some of the regulars around here

It's nice to see you again, red! My dad died 15 months ago & I still keenly miss him. So no "aren't you over it by now"s from me, but rather warm, empathic hugs ~ Molly

Theredspinel and MollyMalone, I'm sorry for both your losses. I lost my dad on 13 months ago.

Everything you said, i totally relate.
It may seem strange to everyone else, but i still talk to him, like when driving somewhere or outside. There's this void in my heart and holidays are more difficult, but i take solace that 1 day i will see him again.

I know you don't know me, but I feel that I know you...

However long it's been since you lost your dad is not long enough. I feel for you and wish you well. I miss you around these parts. You were tart and sweet at the same time and we need you back. Your joy of colored stones will return, I promise. All it takes is that one click and that one "oh my god that's gorgeous" and we will have you, lock stock and barrel. Take your time, we'll wait.

I cannot remember how long it took until that feeling of loss changed into something warm - as if they were around in some way ... I certainly wish the same comes to you !
