My dad passed away suddenly when he fell at work in March and these last few months have been a roller coaster. Yesterday was a hard day being surrounded by so many happy families as we were out in public. Our waiter even asked if we were celebrating Father’s Day when there clearly wasn’t a father at the table. Not a lot of people understand the whole losing a parent thing and they try to be there for you but it just becomes awkward after awhile.
I guess what I’m trying to say is thank you for writing something that isn’t so relatable to millions of people but really hits home to a few unfortunate souls. I fully connected with your words and I just can’t express how thankful I am that you were vulnerable enough to put that out there.
