Beautiful. I love the way you began this, straight into the story, no preamble. It seemed to tell me something about the impact of your dad on other people; immediate, irresistible.
Listening to Kid Charlemagne as I write this. Love the way you came back to "three" at the very end of your appreciation for your step-dad. And as for your father, there is no better joy for a parent than knowing that their children are close.

Thanks Jeffrey, I tried another way but then that one worked.
Lovely...
Wonderful read to a veteran father remembrance.
The psychic channeling your dad, while you channel John Fante. Giving me goosebumps, Deird.
Oh my god I have tears and chuckles at this, I think it's my favorite comment of all time.
Awww this is pure love.
“Like a hummingbird in traffic”—one of many beautiful moments in this portrait of your father. I feel embraced.
Stunning. Thank you for letting us know these little pieces of him.
Thank you. I appreciate your reading.
So dear. Your voice and wit feel tethered to the men who shaped you.
thank you! I love the way you put that and I hope that it’s true.
Deirdre, thanks for sharing a wonderful man with us here. (btw Deirdre is my legal name. Spelled same.)
Thanks for reading! You found a way to prevent misspellings! :)
