15 December 2018 (3 years, 11 months, 26 days after The Day)

Today was just another day I suppose.  I find that I snap at the kids.  I don't mean to but I do.  I feel ever since Jan died that my patience is just gone.  My dad snapped at us kids a lot and I feel I am acting a lot like him which I abhor.  I know he had difficulty talking with kids and if I were looking for an excuse I suppose there is a billion.  The fact is I shouldn't be snapping at them and I am aware that I do.  I feel bad immediately as I do too so I suppose that is good that I am aware.

We took the kids and got a tree today.  I am happy for them as they are building fun memories but I just dislike Christmas.  This season is filled with very tough memories for me.
