Sanobar, I have no doubt that a proud father has been busy using his good offices from the beyond to make his beloved daughter own the role of a writer! Big hugs to you now and always. May we continue witnessing your journey and be inspired for our own! Lots of love.

There are so many layers of you weaving in and out of this. You and your father. You and your writing. And how they come together. Thank you for sharing the poem. This piece was even more precious to me as I am thinking what I might share on the second anniversary of my own father's passing that is just a week away! 🩵🩵🩵
