My dad stopped by in advance of this Father’s Day. It was the night of June 3, or it might have been the morning of June 4. I wasn’t looking at the clock. He was working at his desk, figuring something out with pencil on paper. I leaned down and kissed him on his head.
The more time that passes, the more I (a non-believer) agree with words attributed to John Chrysostom: “Those whom we love and lose are no longer where they were before. They are now wherever we are.”
Happy Father’s Day to all.

What a gift that Dream is! And thanks for the wonderful quote—I sent it to my sister who keenly misses our father.
I like the idea of your sharing those words (whoever said them). I heard them from an Episcopal priest, so they have some good provenance.
