Oh, Brooke. Thank you for sharing your memories of Isaac. He was incredibly generous with his time and attention. We miss him too.

Both you and Boaz wrote such beautiful tributes to Isaac, that I'm sad I never got to know him. I'm glad you both have such beautiful memories to hold. YKK IS an especially good zipper, and I'll make sure to think of Isaac when I see one.

You just described my best friend's mom.

Whenever we go out at the supermarket, she is THERE.

"Hi do you want anything" says she

"Well i could have some chocolates" says me

"Okay" *takes down the entire aisle of chocolate and runs to the cashier before I can stop her* beep goes away 414 dollars

My dad has brain cancer and I've been writing and drawing about it too. This was beautiful. I never really understood what the death of a parent would be like. I probably still kinda don't, because right now he is still here. But I keep getting surprised by ho little I understood the impact something like that can have. Thinking of you and yours at this shitty time.

I'm very sorry for your loss. What a beautiful comic and writing from both of you, your husband's father must have been a truly wonderful man. Sending love from Finland!
