My relationship with my father was the most central relationship of my life from the time I was zero to 30.

There's a group I've been close to, since childhood. We spend a lot of time together.'

I find the English amazing how they got over 7/7. There were no multiple memorials with people sobbing as they would have been in America. There, they are constantly scaring people, but at the same time, people think nothing of going to see a therapist.

My life is good because I am not passive about it. I invest in what is real. Like real people, to do real things, for the real me.

I feel my dad, I still feel his love, and I still love him. I would do anything to have him back, but half the reason that my life is good, has real, true value, is that he died. I would obviously rather have him alive, but he gave me so much in his death.

When I pass a flowering zucchini plant in a garden, my heart skips a beat.
