Loved your post this week. We missed you terribly at the wedding, and my words were likely influenced by my favorite book The Alchemist, which seems a bit too coincidental based on your other posts lately!

Somehow, the universe is always conspiring to make sure that we are exactly where we are supposed to be.

I love seeing photos of you and your dad, the love pops out of the screen and straight into hearts!

Fantastic essay, Sam. The part where you imagine your dad’s soul inhabiting the Mustang is very similar (although far less morbidly so) to a short story I read recently, called “Men, Women, and Chainsaws” by Stephen Graham Jones. It’s a great horror story, and provides for some food for thought in the margins as well.

Once again, congrats on the essay. Would love to know more about your trip to Kyoto, as it’s been a dream of mine to visit Japan someday.
