Oh my gosh. I don't know you, but my friend, Denise Kuan, gifted me a month subscription. I just read your post today and I'm crying like crazy. What a beautiful, wonderful, sad piece. My maternal grandfather and my father died within 2 weeks of each other (many years ago) and I felt your writing so acutely. Thank you for sharing it with the world. I'm also a time-obsessive, and I love how you opened the piece mentioning Varda and Lynch's takes. Anyway, just thank you and I wish you as much comfort, peace, and ease (if possible) as you travel through your grief. People say time heals all wounds, but time changes the wounds. Sometimes we scar, sometimes we smooth over. Hang in there. 💙

Thank you Kayla. Thank you for reading. I definitely think I’m the kind of person who scars, but keeps marching on. I hope you are at peace as well!
