Two weeks ago, a week or so before my father died, I read a post, as part of the Community Keynote at BlogHer. My father figured in the story that I told in that post. It was a post that was mostly about my mother, but my father figured centrally, and his role in that story demonstrates what an extraordinary man he was, and is, and will always be.

And that, now, is one of the most important things about that story, for me.

Below, the full video of the Community Keynote. My reading is towards the end, the second-last keynote of the night. I post it here in his honor.
