It's hard to know what to tell a kid, if it turns oUT they lied to you about it, just know it was to protect you. even if they were wrong, they were trying to do the right thing.

I know. I suprisingly got over his death rather quickly. I was an emotional wreck for about a week, and then I just went back to normal.

Times like this, the only thing keeping him alive is I'm not yet entitled to the life insurance payout.

Love may also be involved, but I'm probably just being uncharacteristically romantic there. Maybe you should just spoon with him and steal his precious body warmth.

A better solution, than kill him and cut him open and huddle in his steamy insides.

Everyone grieves in their own way, there really isn't any right or wrong. You shouldn't feel bad about it. And if you have a rough time if you see his ashes, that is OK too, how feelings come to us is a funny thing. Just try and accept it and carry on.

When my mom passed, I didn't cry. I don't know why, I just didnt. I still miss her, and think of her often, but not a tear.

To be honest, I am somewhat worried about Gallade's plans. They always seem to involve the destruction and death of those close to her.

I know how you feel. The thing is, it's hard to think about how much you miss someone until they're gone. I fear the day when I forget what my father's voice sounds like.

When I need a phone, I use old versions of the phones of the people with whom I share a household.

My first model in 2007-09 was a 1998 Nokia, from my stepmother. In 2010-11 I used in rare instances my mom's old phone from a company that wasn't as useful for her (we pay for them through "credits" rather than bills, it's more convenient).

I hated it in both cases.

When I was left without internet for 15 days I tried using the internet through my mom's new model. What a horrible thing. How can people betray computers for these aberrations is out of my mind.
