I'm sorry, Juliebird. Of course you're upset; he was still your brother. When my father died, I felt relief, but I also mourned the man he could have been and the life we could have had.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm so sorry, Juliebird. That must be really hard to feel.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My sympathies, Juliebird. I think all your feelings are understandable.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, Juliebird, I'm so sorry, for you and your family. I hope you can all come together and heal.

I'm so sorry, Juliebird, wishing your family peace and strength.
Grief is never a straight road, but it is always rougher when there are lots of unresolved feelings. Please be gentle and forgiving with yourself, and with those you love when you can.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm sorry Juliebird. Burrell and others have wiser words than I.

I'm sorry, Juliebird. Hope you can all find peace.
So the online pool schedule is wrong (shocker) and the next session is at 5, not 4. I thought about walking around the park for an hr&half, but decided it was a bit warm for that. Back over in a bit.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm so sorry, Juliebird. I hope you and your family are able to find peace together.

Condolences, juliebird. You are totally allowed to be angry and sad and anything else you need to be.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I am so sorry, Juliebird. I wish you and your parents all possible peace. And your anger is appropriate and necessary. Vibes to all of you as you get through the immediate aftermath and all the tasks that need doing.
