I introduce my girls as mine too. I can tell you fr personal experience that your uncle loved you just as much, probably even more, than he would if you were his bio daughter. Thank you for the kind words, I'm the one that is lucky, not my girls.

I would get started on that book now, holy shit. Sending good juju your way!

Good God, that is rough. I was 23 when I lost my mom (also very suddenly) and, thank God, no blame was thrown on anyone and I thought I had it rough. My heart breaks for you. You're amazingly tough and should be super proud of yourself.

Is it wrong that I want to see pictures?

Wow, this is too twisted for color TV! I am so sorry you’ve gone through so much but I can tell by your username (which is my favorite name ever!) that you ended up being an awesome, well-adjusted badass!

Cute yet incredibly heartbreaking story. I am so sorry for you and your families’ loss.

This is awesome. You were a super bright teen to pull that off as well as you did. BRAVO!!

YAAAY!!! That was for your hubby. As for you, I am so sorry for your loss as well as all the bullshit that came along with it.

As an uncle that has raised my two nieces as my own, thank you so much for selflessly sharing even though it hurts. I guarantee that he knew you would be an amazing adult and that he loved you probably even more than he would have if you were his bio-daughter. Thanks again for sharing this beautiful story, I'm going…

I am so sorry that you were blamed by anyone for his death. That is so awful, you lost your father and then had to deal with that on top of it all? If you would like one, I’d give you the biggest cyber hug right now.

This isn't bizarre or sad, this is absolutely beautiful.

If this doesn't win I'll personally take you out for an expensive dinner and all the drinks. This is insane!

I’m liking you more and more each day. This was hilarious at first but then it became sad as it’s true. I cannot figure out why anyone would want to risk their child’s health against diseases that have been proven to kill to give themselves the comfort of knowing that their child(ren) won’t become “vaccine injured”,…

She was great, she was also far wider than her 45 years so I know her advice won't let you down!

I cannot say that surprises me in any way, shape or form.

Ugh! Why didn’t Dog find him? There would be nothing more epic than Beth giving him a stern talking to on their way to the pokey. Please don’t ask how or why I know Dog and Beth’s names or what they would do if they had arrested him; I know nothing and I’ve never binged watched their show on A&E due to being too…

Thanks for the tips, I’ve never commented on any website but I have been an avid reader of comments on Gawker Media sites and Dlisted for years. I probably look like a creep as I have responded to a few commenters in a very familiar tone as I love their wit and ways of thinking so I feel that I know them even though…

Tell your hubby and your Corgi that a gay man in Wyoming (yes, both Wyoming and gay men that actually reside in Wyoming both exist) promises them that they will love the attitude and adorability that a Frenchie will bring to your home. Also, I think you ungrayed me, if so, thank you!!! If not, you actually followed me…

Please do. Finding my monkeypig literally changed my life. I’ve always been a dog guy but this particular breed stole my heart. I love them so much, they have the most amazing personalities and I have never met a breed with a better sense of humor. You will not be disappointed! Please keep me posted, I’m new to Kinja…
