This is so well written and engaging. Really seamless how you bring the past and present together and I also appreciate you you manage some humor in the midst of such hard topics

This is beautifully written and so difficult. And so deep the way you connect the times and situations. Also so important about how we share or do not share health information with family members and when. I hope your heart is doing well now. Sending lots of love to you and all the family. Wow.

I love how you make me think -- about endings, today. The journey of life is so serendipitous. When we live and when we don't. When it ends and when it doesn't. And, in the end, when it does.

A powerful piece. Excellent writing. I like the way you weave in the present difficult challenges (Covid, lockdown, heart disease, heart surgery) with the past challenges your dad faced in Nazi Germany and Belgium, also alluding to the inevitability of what is to follow.
