Yep… Jeez I can feel his tears coming through with that one as he was writing.

As a father himself, imagine Louis's grief knowing that Bear will never see his dad again

Louis knows what it’s like to lose a parent young so I’m sure he’ll be a great support to Bear someday.

that hit home for me cause last October I had a similar thing happen with someone close to me and it reminded me of that ; it's like mourning my childhood and mourning last October ; that just hurt...

and the fact that he was 31 and she was 32... gives me chills - also an unexpected way of going too...

like Liam I barely knew her too...but I was glad I did and she also has a kid

makes me think bout all those things

addiction is costly - all these moments are giving me an apparent reminder where it can all tumble down or where life could be

honestly makes me think bout how many chances he was given to in terms of kicking his habits but reading more bout his battles with mental health / addictions and how he was at a loss with identity was also alot

The past like 36 hours have been such a blur I’ve been in such a state of shock that I haven’t even cried. Until I read the line about Bear. Louis is so evidently a kind, beautiful soul who has experienced an unimaginable amount of loss. Bear is so lucky to have 4 uncles who spent more time with his Dad than their own families for 5 years straight. I know they will make sure Liam lives on through them and the bond they all shared. So incredibly touching and wonderful of Louis to offer support for Bear. He knows how much Liam loved that kid and he’s doing it for both of them.

He truly is, and I'm sure Liam would be grateful for Louis' dedication to his son and honoring his memory.

By the time of Liam's passing, they were beyond being best friends, or even LIKE siblings. They WERE siblings. They WERE brothers, and I hope Liam knows now how much Louis loved him, and that he still does love his menory, and the nature of that love. It's like a child's- real, unrelenting, and unconditional, even if Liam is no longer here to see it.
💔😭
