This is beyond beautiful. The fact that you tried to love your dad even when he was at his worst speaks volumes about who you are as a human being and how much love you have to give. Also, your writing is impressive!!

The whole piece was beautiful, but the end was breathtaking. Three lines containing a whole story of love and grief and forgiveness. Thanks for this.
