2018.05.05 Turtles All The Way Down

Just finished reading Turtles All The Way Down by John Green. Yes, the same John Green who made you cry entirely too much with The Fault In Our Stars. It's similarly excellent, complete with required tissues in-between the laughing.

One of the poignant facets of the book is the unique pain of losing loved ones, specifically fathers. This resonates here at the Castle household, because of tragedies both new and old. It prompted a couple things in me. One, I found myself phoning my dad's cell phone, which for complicated reasons my mom has kept but rarely has on - and has never changed the message. Two, I've become hyper-aware of how my kids seem to be perceiving me.

I hope there's still an internet when they're older, after I'm gone. Hi kids. I adore you both.
