It's as if I only ever use this thing when bad shit happens.

We found out today that my dad is dying. His heart is pumping at only 36% percent and the doctor wasn't able to estimate a time frame for how long he might live.

I am finding it very hard to deal with. I cannot except the fact that I am losing my dad. I can't imagine him not being on this earth and it scares the shit out of me and I am really just completely confused.

It was fucking nuts! The wind was so strong! It was at least 80 mph and there was a lot of rain. It looked exactly like the news footage you see of a hurricane, only it was in southern Illinois, rather than ...

My sister's cancer is treatable with chemotherapy and radiation. Words cannot express how relieved I am. I was expecting the worst after experiencing this with Jeannie. I am just so thankful that it was caught early.
