Cried the whole time reading this, I’m so sorry alcoholism robbed you of a goodbye ❤️🩹 If you’re comfortable sharing: I’d love to know what his favourite books were x
Thank you angel. ❤️ he loved the mortal instruments series and also loved the shannara chronicles. He would read absolutely anything sci-fi, fantasy, mystery but was also reading a book about mandarin phrases when he passed away haha. He was a character for sure.
i’m sobbing. this is a beautiful beautiful piece. i’m lucky enough to still have both parents in my life, but my dad’s dad died when he was a baby so i’m extra sensitive when it comes to grieving a dead father (hence the sobbing lol).
i’m honored to know this piece of your life and i’m honored to share in these memories of your father. if you ever want to share more of him with us, i’ll be here to read it. thank you for your vulnerability, i’ll be sending extra love and hugs you way this week whitney ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you talia ❤️ im sorry your dad didn’t get time with his. It’s such a hole in one’s life. Thank you for reading and for being so kind and supportive, as always!
I know this took a lot of strength to write and post so thank you so much for bearing your heart and sharing something so personal <3 I wish you so much comfort and peace and love !!!
It really, really did. I didn’t have the strength to re-read it or spell check it. It just came straight from the heart in one go and I hit publish. Thank you for taking the time to read it ❤️
made me cry. some of my best friends have lost their dads very recently, and this is incredible for me to read and share. thank you for helping so many
I lost my mama almost 22 years ago and it still feels like yesterday. I know your pain. I also got the call and arrived too late. Our parents sound similar, with their beautiful side and their flawed side. Like you, I hang on for dear life to the beautiful side. Did your dad have a nickname for you?
Thank you, whitney. I always get teary-eyed whenever someone says she’s proud of me because the only time she told me she was proud was in a dream years after she passed. 🥹🧡
You asking about the nickname stopped me in my tracks. He did! He called me “beautiful one” my whole life and I am getting it tattooed right now. That is so incredible that you asked me that!
There’s nothing I can say, there are no words that will be enough for everything you deserve to hear. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry and I am sending you every inch of love I have <3
Reading, painting, drawing and making clay models! He also loved a good conspiracy theory and would read about them and watch videos on them for hours. He was a really talented and interesting man!

As a dad, I find myself selfishly hoping my kids write about me one day like this. Only remembering the good. Asking people to ask about me.
It's beautiful, thank you for sharing.
I’m sure they will ❤️🫂 thank you for your beautiful comment, Penn!
That one got tears out of me - thank you for sharing

To your dad. And all he represents in your heart
