    hey, friends! :) just wanted to check in - i've been absent between work and (weirdly) the forums kicking me out on my normal browser, so i had to use a different one, reset some information, etc. it's weird, but it at least seems to be working now - but i'm still somewhat absent doing other things. i hope you all are well, though!!

    some of my time should free up towards the middle of august, hopefully, so i will be back here around then! until that time: <3

    i can't think of anything to write. i wan it to be september already august wasn't good so far. well technically the 31 through now. my dad died and Brians is dying of heart failure. so neither one of us had a great august. and sometime after tuesday i have to figure out what to say to Brian. normally i find words but just the word dad gets me emotional which i have a feeling wouldn't comfort him.

    Oh, that's so sad that Brian's also going through this.

    When I think back on when I went through that, it was just knowing that people cared and shared kindness that made me feel better. For example, one of my coworkers smiled a very kind smile and said, "My heart is with you." And that helped me get through the day.

    Another coworker told me that after his mom passed away, he felt somehow closer to her than ever. It was the little things, he said, like cleaning house or washing dishes, that made him feel connected to her. And that helped me feel better, too, because it was the same with me. It was like Dad was inside me and a part of me always, now that he didn't have a separate body anymore.

    And some people would just stop by and say, "Thinking of you!" or "How's it going?" And sometimes, just a smile made me feel better.

    Yeah. Talking isn't really necessary. I also simply enjoyed just sitting with people.

    It does eventually stop hurting--or at least hurting all the time. It took a long time for me. But that knife-in-the-heart does go away,eventually.

    Yay! You're here! So glad you've joined us! My story for the circle right now is Septemus, My Son. There's a little over 20 chapters so far--but they're all short. It's part of the Alien Adoption Collab, which is really cool because it means there are a lot of intertwining stories! :)
