One memory (of my dad) that’s always stuck with me is when we were playing catch. I missed a throw, and he stopped playing. That moment hit me hard, even as a kid. It taught me how much patience, presence, and encouragement matter to a child. Those few seconds told me everything I didn’t want to repeat.
