Today I googled my dad. When I couldn’t find anything, I googled where I grew up and his name. When there still wasn’t anything I googled his name and the company he worked for.
Everyone who worked there when my dad did were still there. But I just couldn’t find his name. I wanted to see it in clear type.
I don’t know what I expected to find. I just wanted a reaffirmation that he once existed. That he once walked the earth.
Maybe I was looking for something he left behind. Some sort of legacy. Proof he was alive. Whatever you want to call it.
But the only legacy is me.
