Thank you everyone!
Today has gone very well so far. I've been spending time with my mom (we went and filed my taxes - getting something back! Whoo hoo!), and have been feeling generally content. I'm really glad to be here rather than alone. I'm sure my dad is happy for us. Thinking about that makes me feel really nice - no grief right now.
Going to nap now. Snacking w/mom later, then hopefully spending the night with my partner/boyfriend at his place.
Thanks again for the warm welcome!
