SAD ALERT! THIS EPISODE IS NOT FOR PEOPLE WHO LIKE THE HAPPIER OR SILLIER THINGS I PUT OUT! IT GETS VERY VULNERABLE AND YEAH I CRIED OKAY I'M A HUMAN

It's been a year since my dad died and I talk about the experience of saying goodbye to someone who didn't always give me the same courtesy, and what grief has and continues to look like for me. The gift of forgiveness and understanding and how we're all human. Additionally, I talk about the gift and curse of our egos and how the protect us from pain when it's too much to bear.

This is heavily about my relationship--and the lack thereof--with my dad, how I grew to understand where he was coming from and found empathy and the joy and pain that comes with losing someone you love, again, for the final time.
