Raw, heartbreaking, tender, bitter, beautiful. I love how much he loved his son and the way that he and his wife looked at each other and cared for one another in grief.

A beautiful and harrowing memoir narrated by the author. I found this book in a comment on a tiktok of Rob Delaney speaking on the horrors of Palestine and found him to speak about grief and death (and life) with a reverence that I find unmatched. It may be my favorite audiobook I’ve ever listened to.
Rather, I suspect I am a glass of water, and when I die, the contents of my glass will be poured into the same vast ocean that Henry’s glass was poured into, and we will mingle together forever. We won’t know who’s who. And you’ll get poured in there one day, too.

objectively-speaking this is a 3-star book, but the story itself deserves all the stars in the world. thanks rob delaney for letting me vicariously live through his personal tragedy and straight-up putting my heart through a blender.
