Mistri, I am so very sorry for your loss. And amazed at the depth of love and compassion you have had for your Father all this time. When you talked about praying with him despite not sharing beliefs, it brought tears to my eyes. I pray you have peace and are surrounded by love - and be kind to yourself as you grieve.

Oh, sweet mistri. Many of us have tried to be with you, supportive in what ways we could, as you and your dear father walked this path together. Your simple post brought tears to my eyes. Words fail me. You have been a loving, patient, diligent daughter and I know in my heart your father felt and appreciated your gentle care. I offer my condolences, and I lift up prayers and send light and love to you. Please stay in touch with all of us when you want or need to. You have an abundance of friends here.
