Dear Vanessa

Letters I write to my wife Vanessa, who died before our daughter’s first birthday.

He Didn’t Have to Do That

August 31, 2026September 3, 2026 / Daddy

I'm closer to him than I am to my own rabbi.

Mostly a Right Turn

August 23, 2026September 3, 2026 / Daddy

I'd like to tell you it was devotion. It was mostly a right turn.

I Don’t Hate the Movie Coco Anymore

August 14, 2026September 3, 2026 / Daddy

Instead of a panic attack, it's a panic sad.

If It Looks Like a Duck and Acts Like a Duck…

July 18, 2026September 11, 2026 / Daddy

Turns out I have NEGATIVE chill when it comes to Luciana.

You Were Funnier Than Me

July 12, 2026September 3, 2026 / Daddy

People keep telling me how funny the book is. They don't know it's the only thing keeping me out of a padded room.

I Stopped Writing Them Down

June 22, 2026September 3, 2026 / Daddy

I'm starting to forget you, Vanessa.

I Missed the Sad

June 16, 2026September 11, 2026 / Daddy

I missed the sad. Which makes no sense at all.

Happy Birthday, Dead Wife

June 8, 2026September 3, 2026 / Daddy

Now you're a notification.

I Lie to the App

May 29, 2026September 3, 2026 / Daddy

Luciana had her first dentist appointment. It went really well so I'm taking all the credit.

The Guilt of Intimacy

May 26, 2026September 3, 2026 / Daddy

The intimacy you wanted with Luciana got stolen from you and handed to me.
