This was equal parts touching, wise, and just plain soul-restoring. I love how you capture the real roots of self-care—and the ways our parents’ quiet wisdom lingers even after they’re gone. “Put your own oxygen mask on first” hits different when it comes from your dad and having it delivered via a therapy cat and a fat crow makes it all the more memorable. Thank you for reminding us that “me first” isn’t selfish—sometimes, it’s the most responsible thing you can do. Your dad’s metaphors about tow trucks and pencils are genius; they stick with you long after reading. Grateful for this comic (and your words) today. Long live that good dad wisdom. 🖤🧡💛

He was so simple yet boom! Wisdom. He wasn't perfect, but I hold on to these nuggets.
I love the affirmations that honest self care! Always love to see Them Cats, Tess. 😊
Awe--confession: I did get AI to logic/grammar check. But affirming it's all me, me-ing me ♥️
