A dad reads to his toddler son.
Brock died of kidney cancer a week after our son’s fourth birthday.

I’ve had my husband’s voice in my head since he died 5.5 years ago, advising me & telling me his thoughts on situations. It’s always been a happy, comforting, helpful experience.

BROCK: I’d order the caramel macchiato with an apple fritter.
