man.

much love out to you for what you're going through, and about to go through.

this post reminded me that it is coming up on... 4 years? or 3? since my pop passed. it has been a blur and i, in many ways, have not been the same.

i'm blessed that my mom is still here, but yeah, this is a tough road.

and having read the whole post (till now), so many elements of your (and others) stories ring true / familiar.

even to the getting your hopes up before the turn for worse.

i don't have time to reply like i wanna reply right now, but just stay up. even though people can really get on your nerves during this time, try to be gracious and let time do it's thing. i didn't ever think i'd talk to my sister again after all the drama with my dad's hospitalization, slide into poor health and eventual passing.

keep your own strength and up so that you can stand, and also so those around you can lean on you. these are some tough times comping but you will make it through.

and i'm so sorry for the rest of y'all who've been going through things.


peace & blessings,

x.
