Thanks For Being Here Mowing the Lawn with Dad

This moving essay was written by a listener as her college admissions essay. She writes about how as a kid she felt a terrific desire to control every facet of her life, which manifested in of all things, mowing the lawn with her dad. She could not help her dads’ drinking but in the mornings when they mowed together, he was sober. A beautiful essay revealing the struggle to let go.
