I talk about my father.
I tell JP about the yelling, the pressure, the rage, the abandonment.

God isn't yelling in your ear, harping on your imperfections.
The voice you hear all the time, that angry voice, that's not God.
That's still your father.
I turn to him.
Do me a favor and say that again.
He does.
Word for word.
Say it once more.
He does.
I thank him.

Fast forward to Andre talking to JP after this devastating loss.
