I’m not going to address the rest of your response, as it was so beautifully addressed already. I just want to remind you that my father died MARCH THIRD. Exactly one month ago today. I hardly consider that to be mourning forever. But, I imagine that there are parts of his loss that I will mourn until the day I die.

Why wouldn’t there be?

(please consider that question rhetorical, know that I wish only the best for you, but I do plan on memorializing my mourning process here on Medium, and you should please feel free not to partake in my future dead dad posts).
