god my heart was broken into a billion tiny pieces the other day. Mikey and I were sitting in his room, just hanging out. I went to get up and I moved the mouse for the computer. His screen poped up and the background is of him as a little boy with his dad.
He made some smart comment about how I always mess things up, but didn't turn the screen off or anything. Then, in a moment of calm, we weren't talking or anything, he said "I miss Dad." At first I thought I heard wrong, but I looked at him, and he said "I heard a song today, and it just reminded me how much I miss him"
I had no idea what to say, I almost broke down and cried. He didn't say it to get simpathy, or anything, he was just stating it. I hugged him, and he hugged back. I wish I knew what to do, something to really comfort him, but I have no idea what he is going through. I have no idea what to say, or if I should say anything at all when it comes to talking to Mikey about his dad.
I didn't ask what song it was, but that same day I was walking into work and a song they played at Glen's funeral was blasting from someone's car. My face must have shown that I was touched by something because Teresa said to me, "Smile Penny, it can't be that bad." I went straight to the bathroom and dried my eyes. I doubt it was the same song, and I didn't want to say to Mike, "The same thing happened to me. I heard a song and all I could think about was Glen."
I never knew Glen, not very well. I know he knew who I was, and we were intorduced a few times. But, I didn't really know him. It doesn't matter that I didn't, but because I didn't know him I don't want Mike to be upset if I talk about him. I am honestly just tore up about losing him. Even though I didn't know him, I know the kind of person he was, and I know that I would have absolutly head over heels loved him.
I don't know......he was so special. We all miss him. How do I talk to Mikey about this though?
It breaks my heart that I don't know how, and that Mikey has to feel all that pain, and go through so much, so much, without his dad. I always say it isn't fair, and Mikey tells me, "Its life." I KNOW! But fuck, it still isn't fair.
