Feb. 13th, 2011 10:00 amMy stepdad died this Saturday. Thanks in advance for your support.
I'll be out of touch for a few days. I'm going down there to offer my own support and hang around feeling generally helpless and useless, the way you do when you're faced with something like this. I'm going because I don't want to.
That may sound like I'm more broken up than I am. Yes, it's a tragedy, but most of the tragedy was done with weeks ago. My stepdad slipped away from us then, and what was left of him is better off being released. I try to work up a good guilt for feeling and saying that. I can't.
