You are very wise. In general people seem to want us to put on a brave face in the face of death. F that. Eat doritos or whatever you need to do to make it through the day until you are numb and can move forward.

In a way numb is good, because you can go through the motions and go forward with life. I am so sorry for your loss. But when you remember his with sorrow it’s only because you loved him so much, which means what you had together was so very good. I wish you well - I wish you peace and contentment - and I wish you…

You don’t have to go to the graveyard no matter what anyone else says. He isn’t in the graveyard. That unique spark of life that made him who he was has moved on - though you can still find bits of it - in you - in your surroundings - even if he was never in that physical place. Graveyards are kind of dumb. When…

That’s what I want for lunch when I’m in a nursing home!

Yes. THIS. It may be less spiritual and a lot more mental illness related.

WTF is he talking about???

Sure there is - they will drug the shit out of it. :(

Okay, so he’s obviously feeling guilty about being publicly shamed for being a dick to this woman - so he doubles down, and is an even bigger dick to her. And people think he’d be a great president... I’m baffled.

Preach it!!!! Thank you for this. I’ll gladly meet you out back and hold your glasses and cheer madly for you as you wield your folding chair with honor!

My father was a huge racist. Used the ‘N’ word all the time, spoke how ‘those people’ ruined America. But he had two best friends that were black. Very close friends that were kind enough to roll their eyes when my father spouted his nonsense. It was the most ironic thing in the world. He loved these two men like…

I love that. Can we make that an adjective? Can we please? It’s just so perfectly descriptive!!!!

Holy SHIT. Epiphany! You are RIGHT

I am sorry. I want you to be fine, I want everyone to be fine but we may never be fine again - and that scares the SHIT out of me. I don’t know you but I send you my love and support. Don’t give up on the rest of us. There honestly is more good in the world than bad.

Oh and I’m drinking home brew. :)

56 year old here, and I was not meant to have a ‘traditional’ life either. I lamented it for many years, but you know what? Life is good! And as I watched my friends marry, have kids, then divorce one by one I decided that my life was good. I have a child whom I raised alone. She’s glorious. I have my own home. All…

Is it DAD that’s so annoying????? The Mom is the only one that thinks this is cool, and it’s just AMAZING! That whiny kid takes after the Dad.

What the FUCK is going on in this world. Kindergarten rapists, now this?

Well I was going to argue that you’re smart enough to realize that this knee jerk reaction would be incorrect, but...

ya... wtf?
