Life is a world full of contrasts. Emiliy writing about a new baby bringing joy to a family at the other end of the world. And then on the other side there is Robert, my dad’s friend who died today. Most likely caused by the consequences of life-long alcohol abuse. My dad knows that, we all do. And still I understand his pain, his anger, his disappointment. I wish I could take them away somehow. But I can’t. I can just be there for him now.
I believe.
