GM Nostr friends.
We're almost to the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US.
I'm absolutely drained and heart sick, but there's still so much to be thankful for.
My husband has been an absolute rock for me since we found my dad's body. He has stepped up for me every day when I didn't have the mental fortitude to do anything other than just exist, and has comforted and encouraged me every day since. Every time I think I couldn't possibly love him more, he goes and does something that makes me melt a little bit.
The night my dad died, my close circle of friends all just showed up and sat with us at my dad's apartment while the police and EMTs were in and out, and waited until the body had been loaded and taken away. They were comfort while I cried my eyes out, and held me in my shock and grief.
My work gave me the time off, and coworkers have reached out to me with sweet words of shared sadness.
My sweet Lu has been constantly by my side, and actually licked my tears at times when I couldn't hold it in. She knows something is wrong, and does her best to be my little shadow.
And also YOU, Nostr friends! Thank you for reading while I try to process this, and have sent me kind words and love for someone who is a complete stranger to you. I love this community.
Happy Thanksgiving.
