so he could be remote-control-raised as a “zombie” during the eulogy while I talked about how much he loved “Tales From the Crypt.”
Sadly, he was cremated, so that last didn’t work out, but I miss our sometimes-bizarre discussions.
And his unique humor.

I use this on a phone, but replies to my stuff is under the notifications bell icon and my replies to others are under “replies” on my own main page. Hopefully there’s similar on desktop versions?
The format takes some getting used to. 💜

As the saying goes, you’ve survived 100% of your worst days so far.
Keep that record going.
Don’t give up.
I believe in you.
I wish you happiness, and love, and, insofar as is possible, a happy Thanksgiving.
Love,
Your crazy, chronically ill, and slightly scandalous Internet Auntie 💜💜💜

And I am going to tell you that despite what the world, or people who don’t understand you, or even your own thoughts might want you to believe, you have value.
You are worthy of love.
And the world would be a poorer place without you.

I’m not even going to tell you that you should be thankful you’re alive, because I know that sometimes the pain makes it hard to even be grateful for that.
But I am going to tell you that I, for one, am thankful you’ve made it this far.

I’m not going to say that you should find things to be grateful for because that will perk you right up or something.
Sure, I mean, that actually can sometimes help, but I know there are moments when it just seems like everything is awful and it can be impossible to be thankful for anything.

Listen. I get it. I see you.
And I’m thankful that you’re still here.
Look, I’m not going to tell you that other people have it worse, so you should be thankful it’s not worse. There’s always someone who has it worse, and that doesn’t make your pain any less.

But I just came across this in FB memories, and I feel like this, even out of context, is one of the funniest things ever.
(To be fair, I was always putting headbands on the dog. She didn’t love it but didn’t hate it either, and, in my defense, it was only for a few seconds for a picture.)

Now, maybe that’s only funny to me, and that’s fair. (I did immediately set the screenshot of that as my iPhone Lock Screen and it’s been that way on every iPhone since iPhone 3, which I also still find hilarious, so I could just have a weird sense of humor.)

in a covered wagon (uphill, both ways, of course) and carving our emails on stone tablets.
“Snapchat? Why, in my day, we had to snap our fingers in people’s faces and yell, ‘HEY, YOU! Let’s chat!’”
The late 1900’s were a lawless time, folks.

And that is how I ended up in an Army barracks in Euijongbu, South Korea, with 26 stuffed animals on my bunk that I had to figure out how to hide before every inspection.
But that … that, my friends, is another story.

If I could have, I would’ve brought them all home. To this day, I sometimes remember that one fluffy lamb in Toys-R-Us that had about four inches of seam done inside-out. Sadly, our family didn’t often have a lot of money to buy toys.

Then I’d sigh regretfully, pet them one last time, and wistfully but gently put them back in the very front of the other toys, their “defect” carefully hidden, while sending out good wishes for them into the world, hoping they’d find their forever home.

If it was a thing where I was allowed to get a toy, I’d get that one. If not, I would go around the shelves and pick them up and hug them, and tell them “Don’t worry! I love you! And someone is going to come and love you the best!”

But I think if there’s an afterlife, and if Dad can see us from there, he would’ve been looking down, nudging some angel in the ribs, and saying, “See? I taught my children well,” all the while with a twinkle of pride and, perhaps, laughter in his eyes.
