Simply superb. I never had a dad who showed up, but this is bone-deep beautiful to me too.

"... 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.
