I very recently learned that something my dad said he did for me, but that there was no evidence of, he actually did.

It's weird and arresting to be suddenly thrust into updating on someone -- however minorly -- thirteen years after their death, long after you stopped processing and stopped seeing them in your dreams.

It's not a big update, it's not like I disliked the old man. But I misjudged what he could pull off while he was in his long slow death. I saw him as a bit more frail and hapless than he was, and I feel bad about that..
