    Today my dad had a heart attack.
    Then I accidentally killed a cow in game. (My computer has two buttons that can be used as hit buttons).
    My dad is at the hospital. I have to go on a trip this week, and am worried sick. Will my dad suffer? I won't be there.
    Just a heads up.
    I mean, I didn't cry. Which scares me. Is my body saving up the tears? Will I eventually have a heart attack?
    I try to avoid the question-Will my dad die?
    I don't know.
    And it's scary.

    I'm scared.

    I am very sorry to hear about this, @lambieplays. I know that a death of a loved one from a heart attack (or, really, any other reason) is truly an awful thing to happen, and therefore I genuinely hope your father gets well.
    As a word of advice, perhaps, you might find it easier to just let it all out. Human beings are emotional creatures.

    @stoler202 he's doing much better, thank you so much!
    I feel my main frustration is that I need to go on a trip (it's not a residential trip) while he is healing.
    I try to cover up my pain in humor, but that fails dramatically.
    I'm coping by just going back to my roots, hanging out with my childhood friends, and mostly realizing that everything is ok.
    My trip is to actually go and help someone rebuild their house, but I know my father would hate for me to skip out of it.
    I've also coped by, while my mother is with my father at the hospital, becoming maternal, which is a weird thing I do.
    Either way, all is good! It could be worse, yet it could be better. But isn't that life in a nutshell?
    Thanks for all the support! ❤️

    Your Dad
    will be fine. I had a stroke a month ago, and they can do amazing things for heart patients!

    I am so sorry to hear that you are having difficulties. I can only pray for your dad, family, and friends in your personal life.
    As for your cow, remind me when you get back and I will buy you a cow spawn egg with some extra XP players have been buying from me.
    In addition to the loaner pick in our chest, we will do a couple of mine runs together to help you get caught up.
