The doctors could not harvest my daughter’s internal organs, because she died of Stage Four cancer. So, she gave them her eyes
When my daughter died two years ago, a common refrain was that it was not in the natural order of things to be predeceased by a child. For some reason, that did not alleviate my burden of grief. In fact, it made it worse.
One day, I started humming something my daughter had sung in the hospice. She had broken into song, lying there on her quilt, right through the growling in her abdomen. I was in the washroom and the notes slipped under the door. Still, she sang. The memory propped me up. You cannot show that kind of fortitude without it rubbing off on your dad. And there were other examples that started to wake up in my memory, and they all reminded me of the goodness of my daughter.
I also began to recall events from her childhood that had been erased from my memory. I could not forget the evenings when boys who would be men came to whisk her away and return her too late.
