PAPERBACK
Conversations We Didn’t Finish
A Father’s Reflections on Love, Letting go, and Growing up Together
A Father’s Memoir of Love, Distance, and the Words Left Unsaid
Some conversations don’t end. They simply go quiet. A hug that lingered. A question never asked. A phrase remembered years later with a whisper: “Plus one.”
Conversations We Didn’t Finish is a reflective memoir about love without control, presence without proximity, and fatherhood that continues even as roles change. Written with restraint and emotional honesty, it’s for fathers, men, and readers navigating distance, identity, and quiet reinvention.
For those who believe that meaning lives not in what’s said loudly, but in what’s held gently. This isn’t a story about fixing relationships. It’s about holding space for them.
