Five years ago today, I lost my dad, Frederick Henry Pape, when he was 88. Hard to believe it has been that long. This photo is the last one I have of him, taken August 26, 2017, at the Marakesh Cafe and Grill. Marakesh was a Middle Eastern restaurant very near my parents' duplex in Austin, and they ate there often. I ate there nearly every Saturday evening in December 2017 and January 2018, when I was cleaning out the duplex after Dad's death. The restaurant closed that April when Abir Saadeh, the owner, decided to retire.
