What a wonderful story. It is so fitting that the anniversary of your dear father's death is this Sunday..

This will be my first FD without my sweet father. Thinking about it, the last few days, has made me at times physically sick.

Mothertrucker, that has got to be one of the most tender stories I've read in a long time.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

lulu2, the first is tough...not that we ever forget ,or that the sense of loss ever goes away, but it does "dull" a little with time.. I am thankful for all the time I had with him, as I am sure you are.. I still want to "talk" to him sometimes, (mom too!)ask his opinion, ..that never goes away.. In a way, I AM him....his living legacy....as we all are for our loved ones who have passed...

What a wonderful story, Mothertrucker. When I was little, my dad squeezed my hand in Morse Code so I would learn it. Sadly, when he had Alzheimer's he lost even that, but never his loving gaze.

Lovely post for the week before Father's Day.

Thank you Mothertrucker for your kind words. Last summer we took 4 generation trip to Ireland. The second day there, my 90 year old father just did not wake up. We are thankful he was never sick and vibrant until the end. We joked he thought Ireland was closer to Heaven than PA.
