Grief

Losing my dad in 2021 changed my life in every way possible. I continue to learn from him, even in his absence, and honor him on another fatherless Father’s Day.

My ongie taught me about bold adventure, unexpected beauty and the power of storytelling. More than that, he modeled how to live a different kind of life and to enjoy it.
