They came the same time every year.
We always had such a good trip.
It was my son's birthday.
Like we just always did so much together.
And so it was just this very awkward visit.
And that night, we were all going to bed.
We were all staying in my mom's house.
And my kids were in the living room on an air mattress.
I laid down in between them and I got a text from my dad and he was basically telling me goodbye, that he was going to kill himself.
He can't take it anymore.
Um, and you know, like I was his pride and joy.
It was just, I mean, you name it of like a goodbye letter.
And I immediately start panicking because I'm just like, I'm already feeling that weight of like, this whole visit just feels wrong.
So I run to get my best friend.
She's putting her toddler to sleep.
And I'm like, I got to get somebody.
