Read the passage from “Only Daughter”. I sat on the bed next to my father and waited. He read it very slowly. Like he read every line over and over again. He laughed in all the right places and read aloud the lines he liked. He pointed and asked questions: “Is it so-and-so?” »
“Yes,” I say. He continued to read.
When he was finally done, after what felt like hours, my father looked up and asked, “Where can we get more copies of this for loved ones?”
Of all the wonderful things that happened to me in the last year, this was the most wonderful.
