Dad had a sign of his own. MY BEAUTIFUL FAMILY, it read, and then underneath that (AND GUS).

Becoming a father made me much more interested in the parent character in my novels. I've never found parents that interesting.

I feel like crying, so I must be crying, but it's impossible to tell because I'm underwater.
