Thanks so much to Unleash Lit for publishing my essay. And thanks to my siblings for supporting me. Their memories of my father, of course, differ from mine.
Thank you, Lisa, for your kind comments and encouragement! Your taking the time to read means a lot to me! Yes, we should spend some time journeying together!!!
What a gripping read! All of the imagery of running off, heading over the horizon, driving without seatbelts or GPS, the mixture of exhileration, fear, danger, and violent consequences had me on the edge of my seat.
Thank you for reading, Cynthia! I'm glad to find you here. It's been disappointing to lose connections with friends I was accustomed to seeing on FB. I'm sorry I didn't see your response until today. Hope you are well.
This was an amazing piece of writing, Etta. You leave so much space around each man (and vision)— to define themselves, without judgment. That reveals you in strong relief too, in comparison. All three portraits are singular and complex. So well done!
Victoria--for some reason I am just now seeing your comment here. I do appreciate so much your reading a couple of days ago and responding with these kinds words.

Thank you for the read and the restack, Anne. I'm glad you appreciate the imagery.
This essay gripped me (and I held my breath). Dreams provoke so much thought.

Loved this essay Etta. So lucid even though it relates to memory and dreams.
Thank you, Lucy, for reading and responding. Apologies for not having seen your response until now! I appreciate it.

Of course— The kind words are also sincere!
A car with no air bags: great analogy for later life. You see the past more clearly as the future blurs and shrinks.
Thank you for reading and commenting, Rona. You (and your writing) have really been an inspiration. ❤️
I forgot to add: Thank you for the shoutout, Etta.
Of course! Enjoy Spain!
