This was really beautiful, thanks for sharing. I went through a cancer scare with my dad a few months ago and it was the worst thing ever (fortunately they were able to remove it and he's mostly normal again). It's the worse thing, feeling so helpless watching your loved one go through all that. I'm sorry about your dad, and glad your mom's results came back benign.

Oh, Edward, your 2019++ story mirrors mine in painful ways. The world melting down while we fought for our fathers. Then mothers. I'm so thrilled you still have your mom. I'm so glad you are sharing your heart and imagination!

You tell a moving, personal story about losing your dad. I can relate I lost my dad in 2021 but writing does help to heal. Thanks for this.
