I don’t have this issue at all?

This is a heartbreaking piece of writing. Engaging and wistful. I feel this person’s pain, and I wish I could hug them to say that the pain and loss they experience Will pass some day.

But life doesn’t give us such affordances. And this man has to deal with the most personal loss and simultaneously be the rock his daughter needs to rely on.

This hurts my heart. It hurts my soul (should such a thing exist).

All I can offer is the hope that by the time I finish reading, he has peace, and his daughter years from now knows the strength of will and the work he has done to be so present for her.
