"We cremate my dad northeast of Houston. Saw him apart and set him atop an angry, determined burn pile on a floodplain. I don’t watch, but I can hear him go again and again."

"My dad is a 1987 Casita travel trailer that gave up in rural nowhere. Sixteen feet long, round in the middle, he is hard to reach for, hard to find, and impossible to reconcile."

It's been 10 years since my dad died.
