Angela, Beautiful, from your Rene Denfeld epigraph to “I don’t have words for the absence of my father. He would have liked who I have become, how I have survived him, bad men, brutal accidents. And he would have been grateful knowing that I chose a different path, one that led me to a Neolithic grouping of rocks.” Thank you for sharing it with us.

As one who plods through such anniversaries and hits the wall, I love the planning and mindful decision you write about, how you make it matter in a different way. Beautiful.
