Well, since I don't feel like writing a book, (which I easily could...) all I'm going to say is this...
First off, I'm saddened by the tragic news... Although, if it's of any consolation, I think he was ready. =) How do I know that??? Well, I could pretty much see it in the man's eyes even that year or so ago when I went to Colorado that last time... Although it's a sort of bleak outlook, it's at least comforting to know that he lived his life and did what he had to do.... But I do know, that nothing I can say will make you feel better about it. Nothing Justin can say... And if any compassion could come from that mother of yours, nothing she could say either... It's an internal struggle. As you know, everyone's different and deals with their emotions their own way... So please, don't take my 3-4 years of trying to bury the pain as an example. It only took a couple years for me to get over my dad's death I think, it's the aftermath that's troubling for me... Needless to say, not a day goes by where something doesn't remind me of the man. I have my own personal circumstances... So do you of course... But being that I've already walked down the path... I'll tell you this.
No matter how much you think people won't understand, even those who care so much about you... They will help you through it regardless. Sure, many people don't know what it's like to lose a parent... But there is always empathy. And I'd be willing to bet that a lot of people are willing to give you that much...
Don't bottle it up Hillary.... That's all I ask of you. Be strong, but know how to differentiate between what's managable for you to take care of, and what's not... Don't be afraid to talk about it, and seriously... If ever you need to talk to someone... By all means give me a ring. Hell, I could probably benefit from it too, eh? Heh.
Take care Hillary.... Oh, and don't worry about that Ashley girl so much... Expressing that much hatred toward someone off of a "vibe, and/or dirty looks" is no good. Just try to be civil. =) <3

Yeah I figured he was ready- his last few years were so painful that its just a given. Yeah I know there's empathy its just I dont know how much of that I want to hear. :\ Just because they arent going through/havent gone through what I am so I really dont want to deal with it... And if I had your number I probably would call you more often. D: I dont hang out with either you or your sister enough- even if its not about this thing. But I hate being civil... ;.;
