Philip Toledano, Days With My Father.
This is a website, but also a work of art, as these things can be, chronicling a son’s last years with his dad, after his mother dies, when he realizes his father has severe short term memory loss.
My friend Ted said it was one of the most moving things on the Internet, and I of course had my doubts, and then I read it the whole way through, and cried, and then sobbed. Go ahead, I dare you to read this and not be moved.
I cannot get the phrase, “We loved each other nakedly,” out of my head.
Holy FUCK this deep! I dare you to make to the end without crying. I’m a cynical bastard, but I couldn’t do it. I don’t care what your relationship is… go love your parents.
Okay, my sap is done for now.
…Back to hatin’…
