Here's the rules:

1: Post something you have never done that you think many people do. 2: Read the other posts, if you have done that thing, upvote it. If you have not done that thing, downvote it. 3: If you believe the person is lying, call them out on it in a reply. 4: If you are called out, give the full story. 4a: If you see a thread containing the full story, boost the person you think is right and truthful.

Person who has the most upvotes when the thread dies wins.

Lucky you. My dad died from cancer when I was 14. That was rough.

Recently my mom died at 70 years old. The last time I saw my mom alive was at her sister funeral a month before. Three months later, her last remaining sister died. Same year my brother in law also died. 2022 was so far the worst year of my life. Covid was not the reason for any of the deaths.

But hey, no matter how bad things might be, they can always get worse.

That's awful :( I genuinely can't imagine how painful that is.

I'm very aware of how lucky I've been, and that it's only a matter of time before that changes. My grandpa is losing his memory, and I'm going out to visit soon. I tell myself "Someday in the near future, I'll wish I could come back to today."
