IM SO HAPPY FOR THEM AHHH
Also I'm always so impressed with how accurately this story portrays the complexity of grief.... the part where he said he didn't want to hear his father's message until later really, really resonated with me. When you finally come to terms with another person's death and accept the fact that you aren't going to see them again, it doesn't seem like much to wait a bit before reading a letter or something else they might have left behind.
