Gave Me Wings So I Could Touch The Sky - Comments

  • Hey, me again.
    I think it's so great - no more than that - to read about your connection and relationship with your dad, and the amount of people he touched because of who he was is amazing.
    And even though I barely know you, I still believe that he'd be proud of the person you've become and how great you are, I'm sure . And how lucky you are to have so many people that will Always be there for you like your family, friends, Drew and so much more. :)
    Like some have said, I don't know how it feels to not have someone you see everyday, not around anymore. But I have lost a few people - one person in particular - who had a hold on my heart, and will now always have a place to stay there, but I keep trying not think that they had passed over into eternity, but about what they did when they were among us. Remembering them for who they were. And the doors they have left open for us to experience for ourselves. :)
    Anyway, keep safe, have faith, and know that you have a lot of people around that care. [:

  • deviiiii.
    i could write this whole long paragraph about how sorry i am -- but that just seems like a really empty statement right now, and you've probably heard it like a billion million times before. i could write a whole paragraph about how i've never lost a loved one before, and how i don't know how you feel -- because i truly don't -- but, you know....
    it's just -- you're so amazing. like seriously, how you were able to pick yourself up and do what you do for you dad, because you wanted to make your dad proud. you've gone through so much and yet you're still able to make it, and keep yourself together. and even though you've heard it before -- he's watching you, and i bet you that he is so SO extremely proud of you. and he's gonna love you, no matter what.
    and if you ever need help, all of us are here for you every single step of the way.
    i love you burrito <3

  • Devi, I could write you a thousand paragraphs with my condolences and apologies, but I've been there, and I know a bunch of words won't really take the pain away, or bring him back. I've been there, hating God for taking such a wonderful man away from us all. I've been there, wondering if my daddy would be proud of what I've done. And I've realized, that he would be, and the way you talk about your dad, I'm sure he would be too. They would both be proud of the mistakes, of the accomplishments. The epic fails, and the epic wins. And while neither of them are here anymore physically, they will always be in our hearts, in our minds, and in our souls.
    I love you Miss Popularity.

  • aww sweetie I'm so sorry.
    I know I can never really understand because I've never experienced a death in my immediate family, but this really made me tear up.
    I know "i'm sorry" is a really empty thing to say, but i'll be thinking of you wednesday.
    stay strong.

  • Devi. I--I don't know what to say. I'm speechless. I can tell that your dad meant a lot to you. I'm very sorry for your loss. I am. I've never had someone that close to me die, but I have had someone I care about die. It was my great-grandmother. She was in the hospital and I wrote her a Get Well Soon card. But before I could give it to her, she died. At least it was in her sleep, peacefully. But I remember coming home from a sleepover at my friend's house and my mother sitting on the couch crying. When she told me what had happened, I started crying as well. When I went to the funeral, I talked to the man in charge and he let me put my card in the casket, and she was buried with it. That's my story. And now, knowing yours, I know somewhat what you went through. And let me tell you, with all the coping skills I've learned to deal with my Depression, writing, to me at least, is one of the best. It really helps you vent, like you said. And reading this really helped me understand your writing more. I can tell now that you put a lot of effort into it and that it helps you cope with things. And I'm glad. Really glad. Because everyone needs something like that to help them get through things. And I'm glad that you found writing. And, just for the record, I know that you and Drew are over, but he seems like a really sweet guy :]

  • <3 THIS MADE ME CRY.
    I love you, Devi, and I'm always there for you.
    I know exactly how you feel, but then again, you lost YOUR dad and I lost mine, and no one can really understand it because we all have different relatonships with our fathers, you know? But awww, he loves you so much, trust me. <3
    I mean, HOW could he not? You're amazing! <3
    I'm ALWAYS here for you<3

  • oh wow. devicakes, you have been through so much, and i don't know how it feels like to lose someone close to you, so i can't really relate. but i did have a near-death experience with one of my family members. my dad had a panic attack sometime around like one or two months after my birthday. i was coming back from my friends house because we went out shopping for a couple of hours. so when i came back, i saw paramedics in my living. i didn't know what was happening. i asked everyone else, but they wouldn't answer me. that was until the paramedics had to send my dad to the hospital. my uncle and my mom went with him. i didn't know what thell happened. so then my little sister she was like "daddy had super high blood pressure" and i started to panic. i mean i know that my dad and i don't get along a lot and he gets on my nerves most of the time. but then, i truly thought my dad might.. you know.. and my grandparents were trying to deal with the situation by telling my little sis and me to just go eat dinner. i didn't budge. i just ran into my room and started to cry.
    and i see that after....., you've gone through so much pain. i heard once that experience makes the best of stories. and i know that you've put your experiences into your jonas fanfics. but just know that every single one of us, your mibba friends, your friends in philly, and everyone that you know and love, is here for you. to make sure that you're happy and full of smiles. and your dad will always be with you no matter what. he's watching you. and when you achieve something and go through graduation, he'll be watching you saying, "that's my baby girl right there" and he's helping you through all the troubles that you're facing every single step of the way.
    <3
