Thanks for this, for the phone conversation, catching up, sharing laughs. Our fathers left in different ways and at different times, but we both are trying to restore what they didn't and couldn't, you that place on Smith River and me the expansion of a family that almost died out with him. This! "When someone leaves us to join the larger cycles of the universe, we grieve the loss of things we can never know, never become." I love you and your writing with a passion. Off we go on our concurrent adventures. Don't come back too changed. xo
