about to make guacamole with my dad.
we visited his dad today.
instead of learning how to make chip dips, his dad taught him how to throw a ball.
it was weird; hearing my dad tell the lady at the counter, “i’m looking for my dad’s room.”
sometimes i forget he was a kid once, too.
my grandfather ended the visit by holding my dad’s hand and saying, “you wouldn’t believe how much i love you!”
both of them were trying to be strong, but i saw their eyes gloss over.
i made the guac, by the way. my dad was very patient with me & my questions about avocados.
i think its because he misses when his dad could be patient with him.
instead he’s a patient at the hospital
who can very well believe how much he loves his son.
i don’t know. just food for thought.

This has strengthened our relationship so much and his lore is always insane. Dads always be doing the most random shit, but no one ever asks them about it. Since i've been asking my dad more about his day to day he gets so excited to tell me about all of the random things he's trying and learning. It's precious.

(or anything your dad’s really into). Not gonna stop talking about it! learning chess has really opened up insight into my dad‘s life that i didnt even know I was missing. He messaged me today when I’d just played a game on chess.com saying “ahhhh a draw” cause he’s been watching it 😭
When he added me I discovered that in 2016 he wrote little summary blogs for his games and I don’t know why but it’s making me want to actually cry. We played a game at my dining table the other day and he taught me some stuff and then he called me after watching me play a game online to say that the way I doubled my rooks was almost exactly the same as the way he’d shown me in our game.
