When Home Became Memory

Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home. The furthest I’ve ever traveled from home wasn’t measured in miles or airports.

It feels almost cruel to write this. Cruel that life moves forward when someone so deeply loved is no longer here. On 23rd April 2025, I lost the most incredible man I’ve ever known—my father. My Aba. The kind of parent who wasn’t just a father, but a protector, a guide, and the safest place …
