Our father, through the years:
This Father's Day I find my phone & call my father. He died 23 years ago but I call anyway & let the phone keep ringing & ringing because, eventually, my father is going to answer.

My dad, a lovely guy and the smartest person I ever met, got dementia around age 80 and died six years later. He lost his languages (he was fluent in Japanese and Spanish, could speak a smattering of Hebrew and could read Latin). And his sense of humor. Or so I thought. At his memorial service, his CNA told us he joked with her in Spanish right to the end. I hadn't thought of calling him. Lightbulb. Thanks.
Beautiful
and affirming. The soul may decide to answer
