My daddy passed in 2021 and his brother — my uncle Ray — didn't come to the funeral. Some old money thing between them that spilled onto the rest of us. I heard the line about scrolling right past somebody and I realized I've had his number in my phone for five years and never once pressed it. He answered like no time had passed. We talked for an hour about Daddy's old boat. I'm driving up to see him Sunday.
