Rip dad. You were cooked from the start and we all knew it.

Thanks for the sick stick though-

grinning and bearing it

i'm grinning and bearing it, watching your vultures come

i know the veil is thinning; they are here

laying claim to this grief

which memories of you are they taking hostage?

they will remember you,

charisma and jokes

but I think, I might remember all of you

if they're hoarding your good memories,

tales of a gentler time,

i hope they take the time at your end

to remind you that your beginning was precious

The phrases “your dad would have been so disappointed in you” and “fatherless behavior” are some I’ve heard quite a bit after coming out, not only online but from old friends and even family. I recently found his old rap CD from 2005 and was really amused to hear him act all tough and mean but that’s not the point, the point is in one of the songs he word for word says “Kissed a guy, watched him die.” And I was so surprised by that and all I could do was laugh, laugh because I remembered who my father was, the supportive, kind, and loving man who I know would have stood by me if he was still around. He was such a good man and I can’t believe I almost let people make me forget that.

I love you dad, you’re the reason I can love myself.

Grief doesn’t have a timeline and today hurts just as much.

My dad used to walk around the house with a head full of white hair because he had zero fucks to give, and I've come to respect that as I've gotten older. I still resent him for not being fully present in my life (as well as for smoking around the house every time he showed up), though.

Today marks 6 years since I lost my dad

It’s weird but anniversaries and holidays have gotten a bit easier with time but the most random thing on the most random day will trigger me with grief

Love you, dad. Miss you everyday 🕊️ ❤️
