You father sounds like an incredibly special man and I know your healing will be a very long process. Whenever I see a Monarch I will think of him. You've extended his memory to others now too, making his presence in this life even stronger. Your friends are here for you. Call me whenever!

Out of all my friends who have lost loved ones, your dad's was the hardest funeral to attend. Only my dad's passing had me more emotionally shaken. Coming to your parents place is always fun, but will never *as fun* as it used to be without your pop. BTW, I kept those leftover "legacy" cookies you gave me at his wake for 3 months. It was hard to toss them even when the preservatives gave way to the mold...I wish I had made lucite paper weights out of them.

I had the great honor of being in his company a bunch of times when his peachy daughter, my friend, was in school here in philly... I miss my dad too. He died in 1990. I don't know that the pain ever leaves, honestly. You just learn to live with it. Blessings! Vickie What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful butterfly of a man.

I can't even imagine. All the loss in my life was when I was young (when my grandparents passed away) and just recently when I lost my cat to Heart Disease very suddenly I kind of figured it out. That there are moments of 'better' and 'calm' but the forever part still is pretty sharp. And so many people say "ah, well, it was just a cat" but still it hurts like crazy. I have been trying to mind my gratitude and be thankful instead of bitter (I go bitter very quickly) and holy schniz that is HARD. It's not at all the same loss, but I completely identify with your pain and your hurt and even the anger. We are all angry! xoxo I’m so sorry about missing your dad. I can’t even imagine.
