Missing Tata

One year ago today, Charles "Ted" Rowland passed away after a long bout with dementia.

My mother cared for him 24/7/365 until the last few days of his life. I don't have words to describe that kind of courage and love, but I have now witnessed it and will never forget it.

My father rose from a loving but impoverished family and earned everything he ever had the hard way. My parents made sure I never lacked a thing in my life, and had every opportunity they never did. They gave my brother and I all the self-confidence, support, and encouragement we needed to make our way in the world.

Thank you, Mat and Tat.

I miss you, Tat.
