This is a more challenging time of time than I thought it would be. After 3 years of this I thought I’d have more acceptance instead I find myself having more anger and disappointment at my family: my father in particular. I’ve been triggered by a post of him wishing Chris from the Whistle Stop Cafe a “Merry Christmas”. This when I finally mustered the courage to tell him not about my pericarditis and ongoing health issues since Covid.
