To: To the ex who is dead now
Teshuvah (Jewish)
January 21, 2026
You died on a highway in October. I had not spoken to you in eleven years. The anger I was saving for an apology that would never come — I am laying it down. There is no one to give it to now. Kaddish does not require the deceased to deserve it. I said it for you on Friday. I am surprised it helped me.
