Trigger Warning ⚠️ The stupidest fucking thing my brother ever did

Post image

was die two years ago. Just absolutely fucked. He was in his early thirties. He had his entire life ahead of him. His daughter was six months old. He was fitter than I am, funny and mean and smart

What do you mean I have to face the continual rising tide of fascism without him sending me a meme of Elon Musk wearing a cowboy hat backward on fb messenger at 1 AM

Who is going to make my birthday cake every year for the rest of my life

Who is going to drive me to the airport

Who is going to tell our dad that he can’t do the shit he keeps trying to do like he’s 35 instead of 75

Who’s going to question why I didn’t just do it his better way instead of being a bitch about it

Who’s going to keep my ass humble

It’s just so stupid. So unbelievably dumb. I can’t believe I’m going to have to live the rest of my life without him and get to see his daughter grow up when he won’t and not even get to eat a meal he cooked ever again or quote The Simpsons with him or take a selfie or help him move or all the other million little tiny things we were supposed to do for the next sixty years.

Philadelphia and sweet potato rolls.

My dad died on my nephew's birthday and we didn't try to LIE about it but kind of tried to avoid telling him which day he died on (my sister told her kids the following day since he died late at night). It was a gut punch when he put it together and realized. Also ... rude of him to do that.

I also have a friend whose mom died on 9/11 (yes, the actual 9/11), which also happens to be the friend's birthday. Which she no longer celebrates.

My grandma died on july 4th, my mom died on my niece.s birthday and we told her it was the next day since it was the middle of the night and the the best death date and winner?

My dad, he died on my birthday nov 18th, only my 2 sisters decided not to tell me he died until dec 16th and therefore i missed the funeral, getting any momentos etc.. and i didn.t actually find out which day he died until dec 24th when a friend of mine was finally able to locate an obituary on him.
