Beautiful, honest and real. I admire your recognition that, for a child raised around performance, his uncurated presence felt like safety. That is such a powerful thing to name. Your words never turn him into a saint and that ending, with his photo tucked inside the Bible, is perfect; tender, funny, and full of the deep irony that truth often arrives through the people we were warned against.

Thanks for being a faithful reader. It's appreciated.
I chuckle every time I pull out his photo. 😅
The best kind of eulogy - unfiltered and honest.
Thanks for reading. 🙏🏻
He wouldn't have wanted anything different.
