    How are u i miss u so much i don’t know if imma ever be able to move from this dramatice thing that happen to me losing a parent is the worst thing to happen to a 13 year old the pain that come with losing a parent is not no otter pain here’s some advice take it day by day it’s going to be hard some days are going to be worse than others just know that they watching over u and think about what they would want u to do think about the good times not the bad losing a parent come with depression,anxiety. The way I cult with my dad passing is I write every day how I feel about that day and how I’m coming along. My dad would want me to be happy and continue to write the story about how I cult with it. And some people not going to understand were u coming from people go make jokes about it but u got to learn some people want raised right. People will say that’s why yo dad died i had to get thru it cus its just ignorance . Another culting way is to talk your feelings away to someone u know who would listen and actually understand. You can’t talk to everybody about a sensitive topic like that. Some people think stuff like that as a joke but you can’t let it get the best of you. u got to keep your head up and keep pushing to reach your goal god put all of us on this earth for a reason . God got a purpose for each and every last one of us . We can’t let the devil take our joy away, he doesn’t want to see us happy, he wants to see us down. U no why more people come to your funeral then your birthday because they don’t want to see u happy they want to see u at your worst. Just because they are not in the fiscal world but in the mental world . Keep them in your thoughts as they keep you in there’s . they will always watch over you from above there your garden angels. They can visit you in different ways like a bird,dog,fox,snake,bunny,cat,pig,cow,horse,and more. They come and try to talk to you .When you don’t think they are there they are standing right next to you
