Grumpy and Sad

My husband and my eldest son are being extraordinarily difficult today. I don’t appreciate their behavior, and I can’t deal with it.

It’s the 5th anniversary of my father’s death. My dad was an honest and terrific businessman with an innate talent for trading stocks. He was handsome and funny and truly loyal. He died at home, in his sleep, two days after the birth of his first great-grandchild. He was proud of my appearance on Jeopardy!, but he didn’t live long enough to see me win.

I miss you so much, Dad. I wish you were here to share your kind wisdom with me.
