my dad passed away
its ok, he was in a lot of pain and now he is not, and i've been preparing for this loss for about 5 months now- at least I got those 5 months with him and I got to hear him say "i love you" to me during his final hours.

This passage is helping me a lot, its from Ursula k. Leguin, whom many of you know i am obsessed with.

"I think that when I die, I can breathe back the breath that made me live. I can give back to the world all that I didn't do. all that I might have been and couldn't be. all the choices I didn't make. all the things I lost and spent and wasted. I can give them back to the world. to the lives that havent been lived yet. that will be my gift back to the world that gave me the life I did live , the love I loved, the breath I breathed."
