I don’t mean to be weird but I’m grateful to my mom for lasting as long as she did. My father died in 2021 when it was impossible to travel home and watching his funeral online at 2am was not an experience I’d recommend, emotional stabilitywise
I had talked to him the day before he suddenly died (not COVID) and it was like he checked every box that you’d want checked the last time you ever see someone. And then—a fuzzy livestreamed service during which his children were never mentioned
