From Jeff Ikler: Beautifully written, Amit. Lyrical. Your father sounds enormously complex and reminds me of my own. What of him have you become? What of him have you set down by the side of the road and walked on?
Beautiful and timely for me. Sometimes we read what we are meant to find. I'm trying to write about my father now and it's a very different challenge. I write about him to create more of him from what I knew. He too could consume most of the oxygen, but most often was not present.

Love this piece! And the title is so perfect! Keep writing!
Beautiful chronicle of personal history and a little of a public one too. Will share with others.

Really beautiful. So many lines resonated.
