oh, dads.

I’ve already told you how I feel about my dad (the plan was to show him that I understand/he is appreciated).

I know a lot of you have lost your dads in the past couple of years. Clink, clink. That’s the sound of two imaginary highballs colliding gently over an imaginary bowl of Chex Mix on an imaginary table. Thinking of you today.
