Lost my Dad a year ago on Nov. 4. Still seems surreal, still think if him most every day. When we're told that grief is a process, they aren't kidding.

Beautifully written, Stephen. I'm glad that you were able to spend time with him before the end. Take all the time you need to grieve.

Reading this over again, your heartbreak is so raw. What a vulnerable place to be and to share with all of us, people who you don't know but who you know will be thinking of you, especially over Christmas.

'... adored by his children, looked up to by his friends, and cherished by his wife' - what a legacy to leave. Good people, especially good people who became and stayed loving parents (and thank you for your honesty too in how the relationship changed), deserve to be known and remembered.
