Day two – another thought
January 19, 2009
I was just watching Homer Simpson apologize to Lisa through a crossword puzzle and I lost it.
I was thinking that maybe your dad doesn’t stop being your dad because he died; maybe he just becomes your dead dad.
Perfectly said.
I feel like I just learned another secret, which is your relationship with someone doesn’t end, even when they are not there. I mean I think I knew that intellectually, but I got a glimpse of what the means emotionally. Equal parts, “oh, sweet” and “holy shit”.
