The author's daughter broke up with her boyfriend, and it had turned her into an insomniac.
She says it wasn't a traumatic situation. They got along well, and he adored her. But she felt especially burdened at the start of summer as the two of them flew together back to Seattle .
Her boyfriend was intact and suburban and unmarred.
She was frank and resistant to easy sentiment. She didn’t need others to validate her own experience.
She refused to deify him, identified the privilege in the security of her home and relationship with me, and refused to play the Dead Dad card.
