Call

We are ridiculously early for our flight. called my dad. Without saying so, I could hear he was beyond sad. I've never heard him so sad. He told me Tami always called him on New Years Eve, how he didn't this time. And that he had died on New Year's Day. So they didn't want to announce it right away, and then his other brother died just of days later as they began informing people....  Briefly he brought up my mom's brother and how 'sick' it made him. Dad, try not to think about it, I told him gently, try to let it go.

I told him I'd call him again before he left for Taiwan. I texted my sisters, Dad is sad. please call him.
