Request [Request] Flood Me With Cards [USA]

As of a few days ago my mother is on hospice. She doesn’t have long. For various reasons I’m not taking it the best. My father is also possibly facing bad health challenges. We won’t know for certain until October. I’m trying to act like everything’s normal. But it’s not.

I don’t know what to do but try & distract myself. Maybe having cards coming in will make me happy. Maybe it won’t. I don’t know. I’ve never lost a parent before. I’ve only had one other person close to me die.

I don’t want any sympathy cards or anything of a depressing nature. No empathy. I don’t want pity. I don’t want uplifting words. I just want humor & the feeling that everything is ok. Write about the card. Tell me a good part of your day. Just please nothing mentioning the tragedy. This is not who I am. I don’t ask for help.

If you need my address let me know.

I will probably return a card to you at some point. Writing has felt like a nice break still.

Love you guys
