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.
Thank you. Glad that idea came through, these are topics we're taught are kind of taboo to ruminate over but that ruminating process has been crucial to my personal evolution.
