Showing Original Post only (View all)A question for anyone. Is it normal to feel very down on the first birthday of my father since his death? His Birthday [View all]
is the April 3. This was the first Easter without him. I would always make him deviled eggs everytime I went up to the house regardless of the occasion. He liked them with mustard, mayo and relish. My mother and sister didn't like them, but then they don;t like me either. I am sad.
