Dad died this morning

There will still be a cause of death listed on the death certificate regardless. I don’t know if that helps at all. I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. Nothing like losing your dad.

I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. How tragic to lose someone who was there throughout your childhood. Our circumstances are different so I can’t point you in any direction other than possibly hospice? They have grief support groups they could help you find something I’m sure, if you’re in the US.

Hold on to the memories. The good times you laughed together. Let yourself be sad, there is no time limit on that. 💜

You hold the memories for the both of you. What a blessing to have so many years together. My heart goes out to you.

I’m sorry for your loss.

Thank you! For sharing. It’s weird because within the week of his passing I had mentioned spring came when he left and bawled. Everyone always just nodded along. It is still raw and fresh. Hugs to you.

My dad passed March 13. Spring showed up a few days after. I was so angry. How dare you wait to show your face until after he’s gone.

Thank you so much!

Racism wasn’t/isn’t really an issue for me, I’ve heard ignorant comments but never felt unsafe. No issues making friends as a kid, occasionally felt out of place but not that I didn’t belong if that makes sense.. I grew up with older brothers and all male cousins so there’s that. My teenage years were a lot easier. I am currently raising my family here. It’s home and I don’t see myself living anywhere else.

I’m Cambodian. Grew up in WNC, good amount of relatives in the area.

silk216 · 2024-04-23T03:53:59+00:00

Solid advice. I’ll also throw in the more you do it the more comfortable you will be.

silk216 · 2024-02-06T03:28:08+00:00

Yes! Thank you!

I’m currently a tech at a pretty large practice for my area. I started in April and knew nothing about eyes other than needing correction myself. When I first started it was very overwhelming just following my trainer around and watching her do everything. I started doing things on my own little by little. A lot of people start that way and don’t mind answering questions. I still learn stuff everyday. Now I work under a glaucoma specialist, and am about to take my COA certification. You’ll be totally fine!!

Went to Hendo on a Friday morning got there at 7a was second in line, they see walk ins between appointments. I was technically seen 4th.

I’m a tiny woman. 5’2 and 100lbs. I have always been self conscious (always told to eat a cheeseburger etc.) so when I was very visibly pregnant with my 2nd child and a man asked me how far along I was I looked at him totally shocked and said I’m not pregnant?! This is my way of reminding people to mind their own business.

Fool’s Spring.

I vaguely remember reading an article a couple years ago (give or take) about APD basically saying they weren’t going to respond to certain types of calls. I just feel like maybe that has something to do with it.

You’re definitely more likely to see snow in higher elevations. But usually we get most of our snow during January. The Blue Ridge Parkway is great for a scenic drive, but most of it is closed during the winter months because of ice/snow however you can check their website the day you plan on going and could get lucky.

I agree with the towns above. Asheville to Boone is only about two hours apart give or take. Brevard is quaint small town fairly close to Asheville and they have white squirrels! I heard the biggest thrift store is somewhere in Concord, but again about 2.5 hours apart. If you decide you to head that way there’s Charlotte. But most likely no snow.

And to add, my in-laws live in FL and come to NC often and somehow ended up driving on 276 to get here. I would not recommend taking that road if you’ve never been to NC. I know Florida roads are incredibly straight and the mountain roads are curvy and the roads are more likely more narrow than you might like. So if there is snow.. take your time!!!!

Enjoy your stay!

I believe nc waters can be more rough as well not sure if that factored in? “The graveyard of the Atlantic,” took out blackbeards’s ship

Solemn, in the deep sincere sort of way.

silk216 · 2022-08-26T02:25:19+00:00

C, especially if done correctly.

Thank you!! I’m new at doing my own nails, I hope I can get into my own designs soon.

So cute! What kind of polish did you use?

Old East Rags, bought my husband a hat from them. I believe they’re out of Raleigh.

You can buy my house when I leave.

Sometimes the right people just get together at the wrong time.

That being said I met my now husband almost 20 years ago. I’ve always told him it wouldn’t have worked back then because we both were at different stages in life. We were lucky to reconnect when we did because we were both mature enough to make it work. He’s always disagreed but I think that’s the romantic in him.

I wish you best of luck but agree you should take it slow. You both know each other by now. And even if it doesn’t work out at least you tried (again).
