On Carrying Your Father's Hands
Inheritance is not only money or property. It is also the way you grip a tool, the phrase you use when you are worried, the patience you did or did not learn at a kitchen table.
Some of what we inherit we gratefully keep. Some we spend much of adulthood unlearning. Both are forms of respect, when done honestly.
You are a continuation, not a copy. That distinction is a freedom.
