The way you articulated the timing & imagined reasoning & implications of your fathers death is hauntingly familiar. I feel like that thought is so deeply intimate, that I didn't realize it was a fully formed thought that I once had until I read it here in this piece. I love that the idea of death as bodily sacrifice. Such a vulnerable and personal way to reconcile.
That aside, your words pay a beautiful homage to the sounds your father created.
