If you really want me to eighty-six you from my life, call me a lazy freeloader to my face with fiery conviction. You will awaken in a cornfield, wondering how you got there, no idea how you’ll find your way home. In fact, you’ll have a vague memory of a certain someone in being your life. Now: 💨

Welp. My daddy passed away on this day in 2022. This is the sunrise from my dining room, where I often work. And a photo by Cartier-Bresson that encapsulates my mood today… It’s a combination of melancholy and contentment with Edith Piaf crooning in the background about a rosy life or some such idk

This Wednesday is my daddy’s yahrzeit. While I miss him beyond words, I still feel him close… Is this melancholy, or contentment? Either way, it feels very much like a Cartier-Bresson photo…
