My dad. He died when I was 8. I just really want to ask him if he’s proud of how I ended up, and tell him how much I miss him.

I'm sorry to hear that. I lost my dad at 17 but i couldn't imagine losing a parental figure at such an early age. I really hope you're doing okay

I’m 26 now, so I’ve definitely mourned my fair share of time. It’s still really difficult at times, but there’s no timeframe to grief. I hope you’re doing okay also. ❤️

I'm kinda in the same boat as you. I'm good most of the time but sometimes the thoughts of lost loved ones creeps into my head when i least expect it. And thank you for asking

I am the same way. I can smell my dad’s cologne somewhere and instantly break into tears. I just hope you always remember that it’s okay not to be okay. Even if it takes days to get out of your funk.

I had one day that for some reason i remembered exactly what it felt liked to be hugged by my dad and lost it. I could feel the stitches in his riding vest
