Thoughts on showing up.
These emails from you are truly the highlight of my week 💝
thank you so much for reading!
Simply superb. I never had a dad who showed up, but this is bone-deep beautiful to me too.
thanks so much, Nikki -- appreciate you
"... Most people forget the woman
who shouted out at Jesus, blessed is the womb
that bore you. My father didn’t. Each winter
he drove back toward it under cover
of darkness. Each winter he taught me
without words how to write an elegy."
Not only because my father named me after his mother, this post goes straight to my heart.
Thank you so much, Devin.
Thank you so much for reading, and for sharing that lovely gesture on the part of your father.
