I am trying to write about food and my relationship with my father and I keep writing variations of the phrase, "My father died almost eighteen years ago." Why do I prefer this phrasing to "My father has been dead almost eighteen years?" Something active about the revision. Something alive: My father died. Even in that ending he was acting. To be dead is to be passive, acted upon by dirt and time. I am mostly fine telling people that my father died but I find every day, even eighteen years later, that I am still not ready for my father to be dead.
