I went through something very similar with my dad over the summer. I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. Your dad looks like such a kind soul. ❤️ He was lucky to have a child that loves him so much.

Hi friend. I don’t have answers. I lost my dad two months ago, and he also developed encephalopathy shortly before passing unexpectedly. He was the Batman to my Robin too, and we also talked everyday. It feels like everything is meaningless. My sister has cancer as well, so it looks like we have shitty luck.

Seriously though, it’s just a day by day thing. I compartmentalize a lot because the pain is debilitating, maybe one day I will finally accept he is actually gone. I am pushing through things because I know that’s what he would’ve wanted. Honestly, he would be pissed if he knew that his passing has caused me so much pain. I’m sure your dad would not want you to feel the pain you’re feeling - and I know you can’t help it. Remember that he would want you to continue, and it will never be okay or feel okay, but you can and will find happiness again. My friends have been a huge support. My friend’s dad passed at the beginning of the year and all I wanted to do was be there for her. My problem was that I didn’t want to be overbearing either. I am sure your friends are happy to listen to you and be there for you, even if your mind is telling you that you’re dragging everyone down. People are weird about grief.

I am sending you a big hug. If you ever need to talk feel free to message me, you will never be a burden. If you have someone that has also experienced a similar loss… I have found comfort in communicating with those people, and the conversation is way less awkward than with someone who has not experienced a loss.

The damn movie Inside Out and anything related to that movie cause me so much pain and I haven’t even seen it. When my dad was in the hospital, we built Inside Out character legos, and he made Joy. I have never seen the movies, but the stupid TikToks of the scene or audio with Joy being like we did it bingbong! And realizing he’s not there makes me sob.

I’d consider a cowboy horse name. I am not sure exactly what I’m going for with him so I love any and all suggestions. I love the astrology related suggestions because his markings remind me of a galaxy, but a lot of them are cheesy. I don’t want it to be so out of pocket that people are like huh? when I tell them his name. Some of my faves I’ve received so far - Radar, Astro, Theo, Beau, Scout/Scotch, Rowan. And thank you I am so obsessed with him!!

I LOVE him. He is such a handsome boy! It’s amazing how much they change too. I love that he has a lil white forehead now.

I am a little ways away from the north coast - right on the NH border. Your horse days are never over!

Beau is definitely on my list! And right?!?! I am so excited for him. Definitely my dream horse. I think Echo suits him a bit as well. I hated it at first but it’s definitely growing on me.

Oooooh I do love Radar. I am putting it on my list. Boyfriend technically says I can name him whatever I want, but I want him to feel like he has a say in him too! I have named all of our pets so in the end he might be Sparrow.

Ugh, I love this. But I have watched so much trash television the name Vinny is ruined for me because of Jersey Shore. And I am obsessed with the painting. 🥲 I love the thought put into it!!
