My Dad : 1927-2013

We lost my dad last night.

This poor shot is a year old, but it makes me smile because it's Dad using an iPhone.  He wanted nothing to do with modern technology, but needed something with a camera function.


There aren't words for how I'm missing him.


Back later

Ruth,

I am very sorry to hear about your father's passing.

Saying goodbye truly is hardest thing to do.

Warmest Regards and best hopes for you as you work through this loss,
Dann

Ruth, I read the obit that you posted on another venue and, as I said there, the world could use many, many more people like him.

There's no way I can possibly understand what this loss means to you, so I won't try to say that I do. All I can say is that I do understand empty chairs, and I'm sorry you have to deal with another one.

So sorry. I remember losing my dad and realizing that I had a lot of things I hadn't finished talking to him about.

Which is why he was so important to me. We really never would have run out of things.

But it hurts.
