my dad sent me this email just over a year before he died. he loved science, writing, and esp ~science writing~ so it was always a joy to get to share my work with him my master’s proposal was the last big doc he saw — thinking about him a lot as i’m finishing my dissertation 🤍

PSA to anyone who knows someone grieving: if you’re wondering if texts make a difference, they do. always reach out. i will never forget the people who reached out after my dad died and made me feel less alone. reach out — it is always better than saying nothing 🤍

dad has the best attitude around death and dying - it’s constantly inspiring he was really sick with pneumonia (more risky w COPD) ~7 years ago and says that all the time since then “was just icing on top of the cake” last night he said, “this is all very human” he’s right 🖤
