My dad died in 2019. He was young, only 65, so I figured I’d have a lot more time with him (as a practicing Buddhist, I can see the glaring flaw in that thought). We were really close and while I miss him on the big days - holidays, his birthday, his and my mom’s wedding anniversary - I miss him the most in random, unexpected moments. One of those moments was reading this essay, which isn’t a bad thing. I love being reminded of him. I love the opportunity to more clearly see the void, created by his absence, that hasn’t healed the last six years. So thank you for that gift on this random Tuesday morning.
