MUST READ - A Letter From Jaye

Hey Mod Haus Family

I just want to take a moment to tell you how much I truly love and appreciate every single one of you. Your support, your energy, and the way you ride with me through everything means more than you’ll ever know.

The 7th and 8th are always heavy days for me in October— this week marks the second anniversary of my father’s passing. If I seem a little moody, quiet, or not my usual self, this is why. On the flip side, if you catch me being SUPER talkative or extra engaging, that’s also just me leaning into joy and choosing happiness. I honestly don’t know how I’ll feel day to day this week, so please be kind and patient with me.

If you see anyone rushing me or being a little mean, please remind them this week is hard for me. Normally I can hold my own, but this week… I need y’all to hold me down the way I always try to hold you down.

I love you all so much. Thank you for being my safe space and for giving me a family here.

I lost my dad on October 8th, myself, but a really long time ago. I was 13 when he died. I want to say it gets better, but I feel like it just... changes. I knew I wanted the chance to mourn and grieve every year but I have always struggled with what to do. I tried going to the mausoleum where he chose to be put behind a plaque with his name on it but it was an awful experience and I didn't feel close to him at all. The carpet was moldy and there was a large collection of dead flowers directly underneath. I'm trying to think of places we used to go together but our regular haunts are all gone now. The only thing that stuck is how we always got a donut on Fridays after school to talk about our week and that always made me feel special. So I eat a donut in his memory but I wish I could think of more to do. Because you're right, sometimes that time of year sneaks up and you don't even know why you're a mess until you realize the date. I know everyone's relationship with their father is different and special and how we left things at the end is different, too. However, I know the pain of losing that tall, big presence and deep voice that used to be so familiar and now is just gone. What I've told my friends when they lose someone is to recognize how lucky their loved one was. We all die sometime. But some people die with no one missing them. You miss your dad because he deserved to be missed. And he may not agree to let you spend time mourning every year, but it does him honor to be missed like that and anyone should be grateful to have a son who cares enough to do so. I don't know if that helps you but that's what comforts me and I hope you can feel in your bones the truth of it, like I have. You're an amazing modder and a sweetheart as a person. Your dad did a good job, and may he rest assured he raised a loving, loyal child into adulthood the likes of which we desperately need more of.
