It’s that time of year again (almost)! Heading into my TENTH year of teaching and I’m so excited to meet my new third grade students. Anything helps - your support means the world. ♥️

Going “home” is now going to a place where my dad should be but isn’t. My parents’ house is now my mom’s house. He still shows up as one of my favorites on my phone to call. I just miss him and can’t stop thinking about how incredibly fucking unfair this is. Hi, I’m in Altoona.

This is funny now because of Taylor Swift

I saw the Starting Line perform Left Coast Envy and Leaving in the year of our lord 2023. Incredible.

Listening to voicemails that my dad left me and *crying* - how’s your Thursday going?

@bunkerton This is helpful, thanks Bunk. ❤️

I still find myself having moments where I legitimately forget that… my dad is dead? Like, I’m ready to pick up the phone to call or text him but he’s dead. It’ll be two months tomorrow. Will these moments eventually stop? Will I experience this forever? Do I want them to stop?

“This was a main reason I wanted to come home. You can’t build fires in the hospital. They have fucking oxygen everywhere.”

happy birthday, Dad. I miss you.

I made a mistake and took a 2 hour nap this afternoon. I didn’t even do that much today but I’m going through it and my body is exhausted. Now I’m wide awake. 🥴

First *everythings* without dad are going to be absolutely beautiful brutal, but today is my parent’s wedding anniversary and we are absolutely gutted. He’s been gone for 12 days and this new life without him is less bright.

My dad is the absolute cutest

[𝕊𝕙𝕣𝕖𝕜 (1997) @conorbroberst]

I find myself kind of, forgetting almost, that my dad is gone. Like, I have to tell myself “my dad is dead,” in my brain for it to click. I’m doing an incredibly cool thing tomorrow that would make him so proud and I can’t believe he won’t be here to see it. My heart hurts.

[𝕊𝕙𝕣𝕖𝕜 (1997) @conorbroberst]

Leaving Altoona for the first time without two parents to come back to is absolutely harrowing.

@bunkerton just hits you like a ton of bricks sometimes but other times makes you laugh

grief is the strangest thing

My dad passed away this morning, surrounded by the people he loved the most. This was a part of the last conversation we ever had, and it was part of an ongoing joke between us. I love him so, so much and I’ll never stop missing him.

[𝕊𝕙𝕣𝕖𝕜 (1997) @conorbroberst]

I love you forever, dad. 🩵

[𝕊𝕙𝕣𝕖𝕜 (1997) @conorbroberst]

saying goodbye to my parents is always hard but my dad just squeezed me so tight and told me he was so proud of me and the person I’ve become and it’s times like these when I really take a moment and reflect on my life
