Think of all the things you want to do with the person closest to you.

Would you still go do those things with them if you couldn't speak to them BUT you never have to wait for your schedules to line up? Like... you just go. And they're with you, but no words can be exchanged.

Yes. Right?

It's the same thing as someone who's died. Just because theyre dead doesnt mean theyre gone. You just cant speak to them. And just because you cant speak to them doesnt mean you can no longer do those things.

Go do them anyway. They're with you. Whenever you're ready to go they'll be there.

#this post brought to you by my upcoming fatherless fathers day #im struggling a bit so it helps to write out things like this #grief #alex talks #if you think about it knowing a person is just your history and memories with them #those dont magically *go away* when they leave or die #so they arent PHYSICALLY with you but who cares a person is special bc of your memories of them so it doesnt matter #what DOES matter (and why grief is so hard) is bc you dont get the reciprocation or acknowledgement of your emotions from them any more #so no im not trying to downplay grief bc believe me im not new to this #BUT sometimes i play around with things in my head and this was a 'why not' moment with all the stuff i wanted to do with my dad #i can still go do them #but yeah itll hurt that i wont get to TAKE him there but he'll still be with me... in a way #at the end of the day i still miss him #fathers day is gonna suck #but feeling like shit gets old after awhile #gotta be a little delusional to switch it up #anyway if you read all these tags im sending you a kiss #bye for now 😊
