Shoutout to all my Dead Dad kids today. For many, this is a triggering holiday. It has been for me. BUT..

Am i the only one who feels pressured to feel sad about this every year? After 11 years, I kinda just feel off the hook. No gift to buy, no call to make. I’m kinda chillin

I hope this doesn’t upset anyone who’s recently experienced this. It’s devastating, and life changing. But then you live another 10 years and you (hopefully) feel a little better, but the “hope you’re okhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz">” texts keep coming. It’s a nice gesture, but feels weird over time to me

it’s especially weird when you and your dad had a bad relationship. There’s a feeling of relief when they die, one that you might feel guilty for having. But you still feel broken, maybe even for just the concept of the moment

I guess my point is: it’s ok to not be sad today!!!
