Ever since my dad passed away in 2018, I’ve measured my life in BDD (before dad’s death) and ADD (after dad’s death).

My dad was 50 when he passed, so sometimes I think to myself “if I live as long as my dad did, I only have 16 years left to do everything I want to do” and it makes me nervous.

My grandfather (dad’s dad) just told me the other day he’s decided to go on hospice care. So death has once again made itself known to me.

A song I’ve found comforting is “Final Days” by Lucius (not sure if you’d be into it but just thought I’d share!)

I don’t really have any answers or insights, but I do relate.
