I Wish My Dad Was Still Alive to Hear Me Say…
Cassandra Di Lalla (she/her/hers), Low Entropy Volunteer Writer I wish that my father was still roaming the earth, because I feel there were so many words left unsaid and so many things left undone. It isn’t because my father and I didn’t talk or didn’t see each other; in fact, it was the polar opposite […]
On Illness and Fatherhood
Mahsa Sheikh, Low Entropy Volunteer Writer Please note that this piece contains general reference to a trial involving sexual violence. The love we receive from the ones who nurtured and supported us in childhood is the most unforgettable of all loves. We cannot simply let go of the memories we had with people who took […]
When a Father Stays
Neha Kaushik, Low Entropy Volunteer Writer There is something silent and enduring about the way a father grieves. He doesn’t always say much, but you can see the sorrow tucked behind his routine—the same breakfast he lays out, the clothes folded just the way she used to fold them, the bedtime stories that sound a […]

I once thought that dream was mine alone, sparked in solitude, until I saw it clearly: it was an inheritance. My father […]
Fatherhood by Example
Grace Cheng (she/her/hers), Low Entropy Volunteer Writer The role of a father is one of the most fulfilling and significant that an individual can play. Giving unwavering love isn’t just about providing money; it’s about showing up emotionally, offering guidance, cultivating patience and practicing perseverance. Although each family dynamic and child are unique, several general […]
The Quiet Power of a Father
Neda Ziabakhsh, Low Entropy Volunteer Writer Not all love is loud. Some love stands in the background, steady and still—like a mountain holding up the sky. That is the love of a father. Quiet. Solid. Often unspoken, yet deeply felt. A father may not always say the words, but you can feel his love in […]
Another Kid
Nirali Bhate, Low Entropy Volunteer Writer Because apparently, adulthood is optional. When I signed up for a life partner, I pictured a grown-up partnership. You know . . . sharing responsibilities, deep conversations and the occasional romantic grocery trip where we both remember what we came for. Classic adulting stuff. What I got instead? Well […]
