I know many of us have had a rough year but I was thinking that we should have a bragging thread. Just anything amazing we’ve accomplished in 2019 that we’re proud of.

The world feels so unfair sometimes. That bit of news was hard to hear today. I wish him well. 

Thanks for that perspective. He's very analytical so I suspect that's a part of it.

Thank you for this very thorough and thoughtful reply. It made a lot of sense to me. I lost my mom very suddenly as a young child and I’m in my late 30s and still grieve harder than I'd like. 

Thank you :)

I’m just ready for whatever happens and hoping it's not too hard on him when it does.

Thanks

That last paragraph made me smile :)

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

I figured. And I will find him some help if he lets me. Thanks.

Thank you. I appreciate that!

My partner lost his mom quite suddenly last week. Sudden illness, week in hospice then gone. He was quite broken up in hospice but has been acting normal now. When I asked about it he says he grieved fully during that week and is on the other side of that grief now.

I lost someone dear to me last week and recognize how awful it is to have a loved one die during the holidays.

Blasphemy!

It’s like it’s the first time people have seen a balding man. Every article about this family features some coy remark about his hairline as if there aren't more disturbing things happening with the Windsors.

I just don’t understand their need to broadcast that kind of excessive wealth constantly.

The Caribbean is warm as hell at all times. It’s probably 82 degrees in that picture because it’s always 82 degrees.

5 year old me overheard two adults talking about my mother having had a fatal heart attack while away on a work trip.

Did it last month: 27 hours door to door consisting of 3 flights and a long train ride.

Thank you. He has an appointment tomorrow.
