I was still in contact with my father when I first went away to university. I’m not sure why but I think it was rooted in a sense of familial duty.
Because even after everything he had done, he was still my father.
And I loved him.

For those of you who don’t know, last June Chris and I picked up and relocated to 10 miles outside of Jackson, Tennessee. Why? His mother was diagnosed with a rare form of liver cancer and given 8 months to live.
There is a connection between Chris and his mother, a deep well of love and respect and something else I can’t quite place my finger on…something on a soul level.
Our purpose in going was to give Chris and his mother the opportunity to be in each others’ presence until she passed. My purpose in being there, instead of staying in Raleigh, was to emotionally support Chris through what would be an undoubtedly agonizing time for him.
At least, that was the plan.
