Your story demonstrates the saddness children feel when a family breaks apart. It's heartwarming to see a relationship between father and son restored...if it's true, I'm happy for you.

This is a very nice story. Loved the memories.

I did wonder how it fit with the 'Telephone' topic. Maybe if you rearranged, or told the story in a different order, starting with the phone call he had died. Then moving on to the memories.

Great essay.

Well written, although the title made me think it would be different than this. I think you could have spent more time on your relationship with your father instead of the graduation.
Well done. Keep writing.
