Incredibly Close

Her name is Nora Rowland.

Her dad was Robert Rowland, 75 years old and a vulnerable man living with Parkinson’s and a brain injury.

Nora and her father were incredibly close. A “daddy’s girl,” she said. They FaceTimed every single week.

I’m weeping. “Incredibly close.”

I was on the phone with my elderly mom today twice for a total of 96 minutes. Yesterday, twice, for a total of 72 minutes. It’s like that every day.

My mom and I are not close.
