You would’ve been 62 today.

You would’ve been 62 today, and I would’ve taken you somewhere for your birthday dinner. I already know the 3 options you would’ve chose between.

You would’ve been 62 today, and we would’ve sat down at the restaurant and talked politics and anything to do with my life. You loved to hear about my day. That’s all you would’ve cared about. It wouldn’t have mattered that it was yours.

You would’ve been 62 today, and I would’ve bought you something Penn State. I always did. You always loved it. That’s why I got you a Penn State urn, too.

You would’ve been 62 today, but you aren’t. You never made it to this day. You never made it to the last 3.

I hope you know how broken I am without you, not because I want you to feel guilt, but because all that pain is just immense love with nowhere to go now.

I miss you so terribly. I miss having a dad.

Happy birthday.

if you're an adult in your 20s (and i suppose even 30s?) never underestimate the importance of Floor Time. by which i mean lying on the floor for a while every week for no reason so that you don't go crazy and the voices stop. so if you're feeling crazy go get some Floor Time.

me (not handling things) to my friend (also not handling things): I think you handled it perfectly

Not sure there will ever be a time when I come home and don’t feel the gut punch of my dad not being here😔

Never realized how much can happen in a year until that year is marked by how long you’ve been without someone. So much my dad should have been a part of and seen me accomplish, just in one year. My heart hurts.

Every milestone is so much harder without my dad here to talk about it with. It hurts to feel joy.

Super fitting that my favorite 20/20 host gave the commencement speech for me to receive my masters degree in forensic science🤩 #DavidMuir #SU2022 #graduation

Last final of grad school✅

… excuse me while I continue to feel the anxiety of forgetting an assignment deadline for the next month+ 🥴

[Allison @lilallirally]

I would like to be done with school, please.

did y’all know it takes 18-24 months, on average, for someone to start to heal after a significant loss?

2 whole years

I think I either need to shave my head or get a tattoo

the feminine urge to dye my hair, chop it all off, get 7 new piercings and 3 new tattoos, an iced coffee, and then cry in my car

You can’t be sad if you just keep cleaning different parts of your apartment

Universities can advise students to stay home when they are sick all they want but if professors are requiring attendance, penalizing absences, and/or expecting students to do work while sick, that messaging is basically meaningless. And students know it.
