Hi there.
You've shown up in a lot of media, I don't know if you've noticed. I was just watching a movie about you the other day, actually. You were kind of sweet there, like someone who came to end pain for people in suffering. I'd like to think that's what you're like.
Still, I'm pretty freaking ticked at you, sir. ... Madam. Whichever. I mean, I know it's been almost two years, but you took someone I really cared about, and I wasn't ready for him to go.
Most of the time I'm okay with it, anymore. Most of the time I can say, "My dad's dead," and not even make an awkward pause in the conversation, because usually (almost always) I can pass it off as if it's something in the past, something I've gotten over, and the people I'm talking to take their cues from me.
Other times, though, I still want to break down sobbing, or go out and find you and rip you from limb to limb as if you were a real person, because I want you to hurt like I do. I want you to lose something the way I did.
I want to hurt you back, you bastard.
Even if I know he's better off with you.

I haven't written about my dad in a while. As you can see, I'm not exactly a functional human being yet.

I was just thinking about you the other day and was going to ask how you were doing, but it's hard to ask about that kind of thing with tact. "I want you to lose something the way I did."
That was really powerful. I've never thought about the fact that you can never hurt Death the way it's hurt you- that there's nothing you can take away so permanently as it can. That was very striking and deep. I'm sorry that something so well-written could only come out after a painful experience like this.
