My father died of Covid 19 this week. Many of us who will lose people in this pandemic cannot post about how wonderful they were. He caused much harm as a perpetrator of horrific family violence. But still, I grieve like a little girl who has lost her daddy. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😢" title="Crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Crying face">

I want to say a heartfelt thank you for the words people wrote to me here and the wisdom which is helping me negotiate such complex emotions. I have read and reread what you all wrote - I feel comforted and cared for. Thank you twitter community. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙏" title="Folded hands" aria-label="Emoji: Folded hands">
