<description>&lt;p&gt;My father left when I was six and never stopped leaving. At school events, scheduled visits, personal lows, I scanned the crowd for his face and didn&amp;rsquo;t find it. I grew used to his absence and started to resent the appearances he made; when he did show up, I&amp;rsquo;d wish he hadn&amp;rsquo;t. At my college graduation, he parted with the gift, &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;m glad you&amp;rsquo;re not a fuck up like me,&amp;rdquo; turning my achievements into his own deluded, narcissistic pursuit of sympathy. He at least — and unwittingly — stumbled upon a truth: I succeeded despite his example and influence. Never because of it.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;My thirtieth birthday party, the day before my actual turn from one decade to the next, was a beautiful night. My mom, both pre-emptively staking out her territory as an Italian-American grandmother and (past but an adverb?) fulfilling regrets at never having been able to throw me a childhood party, brought too much food and snacks and love — or staying up and out past the early afternoon, which is a kind of love for us; my friends, older than me in years and with busy families and schedules, brought wisdom and comfort in growing older gracefully; and my friends closer in age drove great distances to celebrate &lt;em&gt;me&lt;/em&gt; — or at least, with me.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
