The Importance of Being Kind, Patient and Brave

My parents met when my dad worked at the autistic clinic where my mom worked. He was also in the band that she's stubbornly and that says wisely refused to go see. After a brutal 20 year battle with Parkinson's disease, my dad passed away in June of 2020,. literally on Father's Day just as an extra fuck you from the universe. We miss him dearly every day, full stop, but slash and he and my mom were devoted to each other until the end.
