It had been rough after Mom passed away, but we’d made it through, and our bond had strengthened for it. After his initial shock of losing the love of his life, he’d realized that all he had left of her was me. Once we had been able to talk about everything that had gone on with Mom, how she was the one who had pushed him away, the world had opened up between us, and we’d helped each other move forward. When we hit rough patches, we would depend on each other to talk the other through it. He hadn’t let me down once. I knew he wouldn’t let me down now. For me to be in a serious relationship meant I’d truly let someone into my life, something that wasn’t easy for me to do. My father would keep that in mind and would see Phil for the amazing, wonderful, adorable man he was. As long as Phil kept his foul mouth to a minimum. Shorty’s Bayou BBQ was one of Da’s favorite places. Tucked away in some heavy mangrove and brush, it squatted right next to an actual backwater that flooded in the rainy months.
