big rec on doing the work as the emotionally mature child to reunite the family
okay maybe it will take 10+ years and another divorce for communication to reemerge
but im getting my dad to pick up the dining table he made for our family years ago (from my mom's friend's house because she moved out of her house and into an apartment) and now I get to have this heirloom piece that no one else has room for !
^ a metaphor? yeah :')

about to make guacamole with my dad.
we visited his dad today.
instead of learning how to make chip dips, his dad taught him how to throw a ball.
it was weird; hearing my dad tell the lady at the counter, “i’m looking for my dad’s room.”
sometimes i forget he was a kid once, too.
my grandfather ended the visit by holding my dad’s hand and saying, “you wouldn’t believe how much i love you!”
both of them were trying to be strong, but i saw their eyes gloss over.
i made the guac, by the way. my dad was very patient with me & my questions about avocados.
i think its because he misses when his dad could be patient with him.
instead he’s a patient at the hospital
who can very well believe how much he loves his son.
i don’t know. just food for thought.

something/anything happens in public, and you glance over to the closest/whoever person next to you, and it's a "did you see that" kind of eye contact that incites an emotional response, sometimes leading to a conversation, sometimes just a smile, the kind of connection that can spontaneously turn the mood of a day around and i find that so so fun and beautiful

gotta visualize and build what we desire, and writing for me is a good test of actually knowing and grounding myself through the whims of distraction i find myself engaging with
