It's Not Like I Didn't Think About It
But I had no Idea
It's not like I didn't think about it,
or that I had no reference point,
but the magnitude of the emotions
and the depth of my feelings for you
far exceed even my wildest imagination.
I'm so grateful to be your dad.
Thank you for showing me
what love means.

Off the Book
It ended like every other stupid idea. Badly, and alone. I’m researching digital confession ethics, he said. A tech ethicist. He gestured at floating data I couldn’t see then pulled out a physical notebook. Actual paper, fountain pen. He held it up like he was showing me scripture.
