This is my dad. I never really got to know him. I was 3 when his spirit decided it was time to disengage from this world. This past Sunday was Father’s Day and I realized that I have a lot more questions about what this concept of “father” is than I do reference…

From today’s journal entry … For context, I was contemplating my particular flavour of how I avoid intimacy.
