I don’t know how many of you have watched Reservation Dogs. It’s a series on Hulu. IMDb describes it as a “comedy series about four Native American teenagers growing up on a reservation in eastern Oklahoma.” It’s very good. Original. Poignant. And funny.
Oh man! These stories are heartbreaking. And even though you'd set us up to expect that your father wouldn't show up, you ended it as abruptly and brutally as he did. A knife in the heart! Masterful and devastating.
Heartbreaking story, Richard. Those childhood losses are so charged. They last a lifetime, and no matter how successful you get, there's still that hole called "father."
It’s a pattern that gets repeated, generation after generation. To be shared widely.
Yes, it is, alas. Feel free to share wide and far.
I am loving your winter posts.
A very moving story about childhood pain that stays with you forever. Always great to read your pieces, Richard.
Merci, Olivier.

Thank you, Elizabeth. Best, Richard
Heartbreakingly personal!
Meant to be!

That is so true and so well put, Janna.
This final "No." is damning like a rifle shot.
I felt it.
Beautiful writing, Richard. My heart ached as I got to that last line, I kept hoping that somehow his response would be different.
So did I, Jennifer.
Of course. I have my own father-daughter heartbreaking story from way back so your words really resonate with me.
