I’m sorry for you and your family’s loss, as complicated as it sounds.

Morbid humor is a time-honored, mother-approved way of getting through grief. At least in our family.

Newspapers are dickheads when it comes to obituaries. We ended up with a very long public post on Facebook for Nick’s grandpa J and I was waiting for someone to respond with, “I’m not reading all that but I’m happy for you or sorry that happened.”

SO GROSS! Like I expected it to be expensive, but really? It feels egregious. And the fact that our newspaper bills it as an ad makes it even grosser. My dad just died, can’t they at least be less gross?

Yes. I am convinced it will never not be Thursday.

I’ve totally used the “my mom is dead” excuse more than once this summer and I don’t feel at all bad about it. My mom just died!

Also, fuck the cost of obituaries. It’s gross.
