LOSS ISN’T EASY. I lost it last night. Upset. Frustrated. And I just started losing it. I cried because I had to. That isn’t something you should hold back. For the next 24 hours, my family will wait. Maybe more, maybe less. That’s all we can do. I’ll write more when the time comes.
I sat down with my kids, and I prayed. I prayed for my cousin, my nephews, and the rest of my family. This is hard.
I HAD TO GET MY MIND OFF IT. I sat there for a good while, crying. Talking to my daughter, trying to explain life, death, and what this meant for us. She hugged me, sang me a song, and said, “It’s okay, daddy. It’ll be all right. Just breathe. Go get a drink of water. You’ll feel better.” She’s a good kid.
I PLAYED FORTNIGHT. I’ve never played it before. Never wanted to. But earlier in the day, I watched Felicia Day play Fortnight with some friends, so I downloaded the game to see what it was all about. And later that night, after we got the news and I broke down, I decided to give Fortnight a try.
I needed a distraction.
Aside from everything going on, I have to say Fortnight is freaking fun. I might start playing it a lot more soon. I actually got lost in it for a few hours, won a couple solo matches, and leveled up a bit. Now I understand the hype!
WE LOVE YOU MARIE. Prayers, love, and hugs to my nephews and the rest of my family. Love you all <3
