@KatTimpf You have my deepest condolences, the only thing I can give you for words of comfort is my belief 50 to 80 years from now when you are a very old woman your last thoughts will be your happy memories of your departed loved ones after which you will see them again.

My seemingly healthy, strong father Daniel “Dad Timpf” Timpf died very unexpectedly on the evening of May 7 at just 69 years old.   It does not seem like enough to simply call him my father, because he was so much more than that. He was my rock, my hero and my best friend. He was loyal, funny, kind, selfless, hard-working, and so devoted to his children that it was impossible to be near him and not find yourself inspired. He was a writer, a painter, a sailor, and somehow knowledgeable on every subject from world history to literature to accounting. He was the most dependable person anyone has ever met. I always felt like, as long as I had his phone number, there was not a problem I could not solve. I needed him here with me; I am not okay, and I am far from the only person who feels this.   The birth of my son in February 2025, his first grandchild, was supposed to be a happy new beginning for our family. A family that had been already once devastated by an untimely loss: the loss of my mother Anne Marie to a rare disease in 2014 just a matter of weeks after her diagnosis.   The joy of my son’s birth was, of course, complicated by my also very unexpected breast cancer diagnosis just a matter of hours before going into labor with him. During this time, my dad did what he did best, which was to save the day. As soon as he heard about my diagnosis, he simply got into the car and started driving to New York -- making it through the tunnel just as my  son was born…on the day that happened to be his own birthday, as well.   In the tumultuous time of a simultaneous new cancer diagnosis and new baby, my dad was the sole reason for our stability, rushing in to help care for our son, and returning to do so again for my double mastectomy, reconstructive surgery, and any time that we ever needed him. It was an awful, awful year… but I found so much joy and hope throughout it by watching the beauty of a very special relationship form between my son and my father. This horrible thing that was happening was creating such a very special bond between the two of them -- almost making the terrible thing worth it -- and I was so excited to see how that bond would grow.   The bond was of top priority for my father, who visited from Michigan often. I saw him last on the Monday before he died, and my son was so proud to help his grandfather push his suitcase down to the car as he left. The goodbyes were quick. Why wouldn’t they be? We would all see each other again at the beginning of June, when we would all head to Texas for my shows and to see my grandpa. We wanted to make sure that my son could spend as much time as he could with his great-grandfather. He is, after all, 93.   I was certainly not over the trauma of my cancer or having to amputate the breasts I so badly wanted to feed my son with, but the one thing I could always count on to get me through my worst moments was seeing my son’s and my father’s faces light up when they saw each other, be it during the visits or our routine morning and bedtime FaceTime calls.   That is, at least, until I had to hear over the phone from a doctor I had never met in an emergency room in the same town up north that I’d previously announced to my father that I was pregnant that my dad was dead; I would never see him again, and neither would my son. It would turn out that last year was not the hard one, after all. Rather, it was the one I would now do anything to relive. I would amputate my breasts every year just to be able to speak with him one more time, even for five minutes.   I am currently living an unimaginable horror. For many people, this is a tragic story. For me, it’s my life. I do not know how I will recover from it. I only know that I have to for the sake of what is left of my family.

@TrumpsHurricane Pound sand

This Black woman says “White people owe African Americans 300,000 each in reparations. I don’t care how they get it, just get it.” What is your response to her ??

@w_terrence We have the guns and the knowledge of how to use them plus we know which gender we are.

"We are ready for a Civil War against MAGA. Maga won't know what hit them!" This woman says everyone on the left is ready to go to war with Trump Supporters

@taydlzr Only won 150 myself and that is only because I had the winner at the place and show positions.

just won $325 betting on the derby which is maybe the only time being a horse girl for most of my childhood has ever paid off

@KatTimpf My wife developed Cervical Cancer during our engagement. So she cannot have children. We did however adopt one.

This is an evil thing to say. Being forced to amputate my breasts in order to save my life when I wanted nothing more than to breastfeed my newborn son was traumatic. I am not over it. I am going to continue to talk about it for the sake of myself and for those who can relate.

Newsmax has absolutely no place on New York City streets. I’m calling on the TLC to suspend their partnership with Curb until Newsmax is no longer being broadcast in 15,000 NYC cabs every single day.

@RickyDoggin It goes back to Woodrow Wilson.

I say when Obama got elected. What say you?

@dsonoiki Steve Bannon was arrested and served prison time.

I usually stick to jokes, but this Don Lemon stuff crossed a line if Don Lemon can get arrested, imagine what the next democrat president might do what if they arrest Steve Bannon? or Rudy Giuliani? or even Donald Trump?

@simonateba Maybe she should not try to use her vehicle as a deadly weapon.

She was shot dead by ICE, shot three times. She could have been your daughter, your wife, your sister, your neighbor protesting ICE. She could have been you!

@Matt_Pinner Yes indeed.

Sydney Sweeney is more attractive than Taylor Swift! ?

@oelma__ Wake up

What...

@otokyo__ Depends on how good she was.

Be honest!
