On Death and Living : Navigating the Realm of my Father’s Death (Day 3)

Today I learned a few adulty things: 1. That you can walk for a long time in the cold and not feel it because you're too sad-not numb. Just sad. 2. How mileage can be put on your soul. 3. That you don't need to describe in an obituary doesn't have space for details like the fact that your Dad's first car was a Dodge Colt that he saved up for and paid for from working at a gas station after immigrating and there's also not a tradition in mentioning things like he only had a quarter in his pocket upon moving and that he had to put newspaper in his shoes to stay warm during his first winter in Canada. So much to learn for the first time in the process of letting go someone so close to me...
