My deepest condolences, bbc. Your dad sounds as if he was a wonderful, wise and compassionate person, just like yourself.

I know what you mean about the distance thing. When my dad passed, two and a half years ago, we lived several hours away and I could not go to his funeral. I was left to share with our wonderful community, here, and grieve at home with my memories, thoughts, and sorrows. I still do, at times, for him and my mom. I am not sure one ever loses the grief, but remembering the lessons learned, the memories of times together, and sharing those with others can help. And, singing/making music helps when I remember either of them.

Please do keep sharing with us, as you need to and want to...there are a lot of us who are with you and have been there.
