Thank you!

I’m thankfully home.

Ugh.

Grief is tricky and sneaky as fuck. As someone grieving, you can feel like you’re better, but then you’ll hear a reference to their favorite song or movie and plunge back into sadness. He may be putting a on a brave face, he may actually be feeling better, but neither are likely to last. Be there to support him, and re…

I’m so sorry. It creeps up on you sometimes when you least expect it.

I’ll add that at this point, he is likely still in shock, since the illness and death were sudden, and that could possibly explain why he thinks he’s done grieving; he may be quite numb emotionally right now

I told myself I was done grieving for my father. I believed that my being busy ( I was pregnant, had three little ones, was worried about my mom, work) caused me to process the sadness quicker.

By the end of the day, covered in sugar and with a kitchen full of discarded bowls of various colours of icing, you are basically so over it, you don’t even…

I used to do this as a kid, and I'd place frosting like an inch thick on the cookies I did because it was unseemly to just inject the frosting directly into my mouth.

Actually, about half way through, I was thinking “what poor bastard had to try to channel The Boss in order to get the first draft finished.” It must hurt to think like that.

Seriously?! The letter is insane, how could anyone describe it otherwise?!

I’d like to submit my own:

First thing I thought of!  I think Pelosi should just respond, “WE WERE ON A BREAK!”  And let him figure out what that means (i.e. it means “Fuck right off with this shit”).

Many people are saying that. Great people. The best people. 

Donald Trump decided to issue a truly mindblowing six-page letter to Nancy Pelosi in which he whines about impeachment
