Since my dad passed away in February, I’ve been writing a fictionalized version of the events he had to live through. I wasn’t able to occupy his mind or body during the two months he was in the hospital. This much is obvious. But it is my intention to give him a proper eulogy through this story.

I will write everything I know to be true about who dad was and do my very best to write it from his point of view, in his voice. It will be a short story since it only comprises of two real months of time, but it will have all I can give to the loss.

Honoring dad is important to me. Honoring him in my way would have been important to him.
