Because Black people are so unserious LMAO I said I don't really celebrate Christmas because Dad actually died on that day.

"You played the big joker, ain't it?"

Baby, that had me laughing until tears rolled down my cheeks!

It was so nice to be treated normal instead of with kid gloves

Anyway this year, heck this month has felt lighter. I almost bought a mini tree! First time in a 11 years, I even touched one. Baby steps are still steps.

Here's to tomorrow being lighter and even more full of love and beautiful memories of my Dad.

I said "ha, ha, Daddy! You made it to Christmas!" And just as quick as the glimmer came, it left his eyes.

Instead of the death rattle (they never tell you about that in the movies), he spent the next 12 hours intensely whispering to angels, negotiating his departure from his shell.

So when I fitfully slept on the 24th and then rushed to his side at hospice just after dawn, I teased him. For only the third time that week, he responded with a brief flicker in his eyes, losing light from the song death sang incessantly in his ears.
