Dear you are entitled to be down and don't let anyone take that away from you. There are stages of grief, let them happen. I don't know what kind of human being would not think you should take a day off for your fathers funeral. Most employers allow at least 3 days for an immediate relative. I am sure Nakiea can relate to that though since she is a day care provider also.

Reality is determined not by what scientists or anyone else says or believes but by what the evidence reveals to us.
