a little update; beginning of January my dad was diagnosed with stage 4 esophagus cancer which metastasized into his stomach/bones, he was given 6-12 months to live. 19th feb he was then told he had 3 days to 3 weeks left which shattered us. he passed on 26th feb while i was rushing home from work, the night before i didn't want to leave him, for some reason i left at 10pm and squeezed his hand, told him i would see him tomorrow and yk when you have that feeling of dread looming over you? that's what i had, watching him struggling to breathe, he passed in my mom's arms, my brother being home too. i regret going into work even though my dad told me to go in because in his words "there's no point waiting around." i remember having to call my bf and telling him to get to the house before me, a work colleague drove me home and we hit every.fucking.red.light, which i was wanting to scream at her to just floor it. i got to my parents home and there was an ambulance crew there, and thats when i knew, he was no longer with us. the funeral directors left us with him for 2 hours, we laughed, cried and spoke to him like he was still there. i can't stress this enough hug your parents more, tell them you love them more especially if you're close. my dad said to us he couldn't remember why he stopped hugging us, we aren't really a hugging family -- we spent years being dysfunctional {mainly the women} we had his funeral on the 18th march and it's a different type of feeling. i cried, but i wasn't crying as much as i did when he was alive because it's honestly heartbreaking when you're mourning someone who was still with you. death changes a lot, but i will continue to write and i will continue to work on professionally publishing these books in the future. thank you for coming on this journey with me. i recently had my 27th 5 days ago and it was a strange one.

@lilwetto my prayers and sincere condolences to you, I know the pain of losing a dad all too well, I lost my dad on my 32nd birthday on February 3rd this year, it's been the hardest ever because he was Kentucky and I was here in CA and I didnt even know he was sick, id talked to him a couple days prior, so I hope you were able to still celebrate your birthday and also honor your dad's memory while you did. Happy belated ❤️
