weirdlet | My Dad Is Gone.

My dad is gone. He wasn't feeling well yesterday (in a way that he's survived before), so we cleaned up the place and as he got worse, we called the ambulance. I stepped away because I couldn't handle it, and Mom gave me the details when I got back in and it turns out he had a heart attack, possibly two, at the behest of his failing kidneys. He never woke up, never really stabilized, and we realized- he himself was probably gone before the ambulance came.

We let him go, and he passed around 5:30.

I've been bracing for this for years, but it still- it shouldn't have happened now. Of course it had the potential to happen, of course I couldn't push him into healthier habits even as I was caring for him, but- it can't happen now.

But it has.

We put on his music, let him off the tube, and I told him that we loved him, to give our love to Becky and to go in peace.

Just- *fuck*.

I've been staring at this post since you posted with no idea what to say.

I mean, I feel like "sorry" wouldn't really cut it and I've been through something like this so I have no way to really relate.

I still don't know what to say to help lessen the pain but, they say laughter is the best medicine and I figure that laughter works especially well against heartache, sorrow and stress so um...

Have some honor jokes at Zuko's expense? I hope they make things even a tiny bit better...less painful.
