I found this essay last night and thought I would share it. It is written by a son, on the loss of his father. Really beautiful. The essay is called: “Nobody’s Son” by Mark Slouka.

That essay is so beautiful. I love the line “Grief, like love, is resistant to reason.” Thanks for sharing.
Oh wow, that is my favorite line too! It is what really struck a chord with me, it is one of the reasons I shared the essay 🙂
