Ugh heartbroken truly

macka :

When my dad died, watching Dawsons Creek was the only times I felt happy. It made me forget my sadness and grief. I went to Wilmington from Australia a few years ago to relive those memories and the gratitude I had for helping me through such a hard time. Ironically, James died at 48, the same age as my dad from the same cancer. RIP James. 😢 💔
