I filled 3 notebooks with his stories between 2019 and 2021 because I was scared of losing them, but I realized last winter in Phoenix that I was missing the actual conversations while my head was down. Now I leave the pen in my pocket and just ask him stuff, and he tells me way more when he knows I am not writing it down. Did anyone else have to put down the recorder to actually hear the person?
