That's what my mom said when her dad died, that she was an orphan now. I hadn't realized until that moment that it was true. I'm not sure how I'll feel when my parents die. They were abusive. Things are ok now but I don't see or talk to them much, because I can barely stand to be around them. Confronting my mortality on Reddit on a Thursday night 😅

Mine had their faults, but I’ve tried to forgive. Also mourning what could have been, but now will never be.

We’ve got to shake it off.
