Dear friend, this is very moving and beautifully written. To Tato, Jon, and all the fathers who did a perfectly imperfect job bringing us here!

Dear Natalie

Wonderful and tender writing about your dad. My Polish dad used to mangle the English language too. When the doctor told him that his EKG indicated a severe heart condition, he told me that the KGB is killing him. 😊 love and thank you for sharing.
