===== A year after your father dies, his number pops up. ===== Not in a horror-movie way. In a painfully mundane way: “Hey. It’s Dad’s legacy assistant. He recorded a message for you for today.” You press play. It’s short. It’s sweet. It’s exactly him. And then it asks: “Would you like him to stay available for birthdays, family decisions, and advice requests? Recommended setting: Light Presence.” Your sister wants Full Presence. Your mom wants Off. You want something in between. Now you’re having the strangest family argument imaginable: Not about whether he’s gone—everyone knows he’s gone. About how much of him should remain in the plumbing of your life. People will invent new rituals for this: not funerals—shutdown ceremonies.
