Makes me tear up reading this. It's really touching how your dad expresses his love constantly. My dad still couldn't until his death. I did actually write letters to him after, I wrote about it! :)
❤️❤️❤️ sending love. I’m glad you were able to get some tears out. I cried re-reading this too. Life is so precious and short. I will try reading to my dad. Maybe this story. ❤️
What a beautiful tribute to your father. I’m so sorry for your loss.
David Kessler said that grief is unique as a fingerprint, and that we each tend to grieve as we live.
Here is a link to a wonderful article he wrote, which I hope brings you some comfort.
Wishing you moments of grace and beauty amidst the sorrow as you grieve your loss.

Love, love, love this. And you made me cry. Congratulations. Just kidding. But not about the crying part.
I once heard that you should read to the dead. You might try it. xo

'No wonder he wanted me to do well in school and get a stable job.'
Heartwarming story, Alice.
Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story- I just went over to your Substack and read it. Losing a parent is so hard. Sending hugs. ❤️
Now I’m a parent I have more compassion for my parents... it is not easy! They did the best they could with the resources they had.
