As I sorted his clothes with my mom and sister, we selected items to keep.
My sister kept a denim jacket and my mother his boina.
My father was a foot taller than me, and wearing his clothes makes me feel protected, as if he's hugging me.
Grief and nostalgia often go hand in hand.
I often see the pair of Keen sandals he wore, and every time, I'm hit by a wave of grief.
