He taught me so much. There’s precious little of me that’s really of any worth, but what there is I learned from him. I learned you can be a parent in every sense, regardless of whether or not that kid is yours biologically or not. He also is the only one of my two parents who totally 100% without question accepted this transgender bullshit about me when I told him. Even my mom has her problems with it, and seems to think its somehow harder on her that I’m the way I am than it is on me.
Not my dad though, and now he’s gone forever.
I hope there’s an afterlife. Not so much for myself, but for my dad. He deserves it, to see his family again and live forever in paradise. He was so good on earth. Better than I could ever be.
