Remember me.

This might get cut off in your email so the demand this week is to open in your browser, spread the word about my Substack, and then tell me your favorite memory.

I’ve written about my father a few times. A lot of my memories with him start with a song or a show. He loved Suzanne Vegas’s “Tom’s Diner”, Smooth Jazz V98.7 station was a mainstay in our car (IYKYK), and “Just Got Paid” by Montell Jordan was how I knew I’d be getting a bigger treat on certain Fridays than normal.

I’m 100% a daddy’s girl. He was my first comedian and confidante, he would hold me when I cried after days at school, laugh with me late at night, he’d eat ice cream and treats with me in the car while I talked his head off about a movie he’d never heard of, we’d argue, and debate and laugh in diners while I gulped down 30 cranberry juices and his coffee turned cold. He’s the man I look up to most in the world and our memories together are some of the ones I cherish the most.
