    I have so many stark lasting memories of my dad, good and bad it’s hard to pick the one with the greatest impact.

    Maybe the time I watched him have an allergic reaction to an ssri that ended in 6 cops beating him unconscious and dragging him to jail.

    Maybe the time he unprompted pulled $800 out of his wallet and handed it to the lady at the laundry mat who was stressed about paying her rent that month.

    Maybe the time my friends and I showed up at 2am with bath salts and he did a little toot with us.

    Maybe the time he sat with me in the kitchen until the wee hours of the night playing chess while I cried about being broken up with for the first time.
