The cruise — day 10
Today is disembarkation day. My BIL is going to drop me off at my house since I got a ride to their house to come to the boat. Last night the person watching my house texted me, which they have…
The cruise — day 9
Today was just spent missing my parents. A lot. Simple, plain sea day. Lovely waters. Real life starts again tomorrow.
The cruise — day 8
Literally no drama today. I just slept until noon. Life is good! There really isn’t much to report after today. Aunt took Niece for a few hours, and promptly got ratted out. She’s genuinely a good kid, and also one…
The cruise — day 7
My sister called my room at 11 pm last night. Nephew’s charging port on his tablet is broken. He needs to have it. She needs to go onto the island today to get it repaired. She wants me to go…
The cruise – day 6
We are in San Juan. Yesterday was so over hot for me that I’m staying on the boat today. I have a thumping headache. Everyone else is going. So we had breakfast together. Yesterday, Nephew was being a miserable little…
Cruise – day 5
At breakfast, my uncle asked me a question about my father. I was answering him. My nephew came over from the other table to tell me to stop talking about “Pop Pop”. I told him “you were sitting over there…
Cruise – day 4
Today was a rough day for me. Everywhere I looked, my father should have been there. He wasn’t. My nephew convinced me to go to the ice show with him. I was sitting next to my sister. My nephew saw…

The house would be empty while I was away. My sisters and aunt freaked out. My car HAD to be left at the house. I would have to Uber to my sister’s house to get on the ship. I had…
Cruise
We decided to still go on the cruise we had planned. It’s going to be a celebration of life and a time to grieve. We’re all here. Including Ex Niece and Ex Nephew. The whole family together. Something my mom…
When Someone Tells You Who They Are… Believe Them
They owe you nothing. They are owed nothing. That is the agreement. Then life gets overwhelming. You withdraw because you need to conserve your sanity. They don’t cross a single boundary, but ask to see you. Out of concern. You…
The Hardest Day
I finally had a long stretch alone. In the house. Without anyone. I was just living my life like it was a weekend since it is the last day of shiva. I saw a video my dad would have loved.…
The life Switch
Half past six in the morning. The world is silent, except for a few chatty birds outside. The house is silent. Heavy. Group text starts every day at 5:30-6 am. 3 women, texting into the ether before the morning fully…
