“There are things we know in this world without explanation, like a sixth sense that ties us to all other living things—that root of our DNA from which we all share, which warns us and enlightens us. It informs us what death looks like, no matter what species we are. When my father fell asleep, I knew he had not died—not technically—but I knew he was gone. He would never wake up.” — Sophie Hicks
There are things we know in this world without explanation, like a sixth sense that ties us to all other living things—that root of our DNA from which we all share, which warns us and enlightens us. It informs us what death looks like, no matter what species we are.
When my father fell asleep, I knew he had not died—not technically—but I knew he was gone.
He would never wake up.
