Donette weaves past and present like someone who understands how memory really works—how it sneaks up on you while you're ironing a shirt or sitting at the kitchen table. The whole thing reads like life: no perfect endings, just moments of grace, grief, and maybe a little growth if you're lucky.

Loved this. Most of us know a Frank (and some of us are like him more than we might care to admit). The poignancy and humor work perfectly together. This felt true from start to finish. Great ending.
