it’s not hard putting up with mr. hirsh.

he isn’t like my father.

maybe since he’s so young.

he washes dishes,

helps with chores,

he even does a turn at the stove every few days.

he bathes esther,

reads to her in all manner of voices,

makes us both laugh till our sides hurt.

he washes her clothes,

gets her to school and helps her with her homework.

best man i ever saw.
