Pippy, I am so very sorry for your loss. Losing a parent is devastating. Losing any one close is devastating. They say time heals. I don't know. Thinking of you and your family. Pop in when you can to let us know how you are.

It sounds as though both you and your Dad felt profoundly loved by and respectful of the other.  What a gift that is and I'm saddened by your loss  as well as touched by your very special relationship.  We were in his corner, right beside you and I hope that you will find peace trough your grief.   :grouphug;

Pippy, God has gathered him up in his Bossom!  He will feel no more pain and no more suffering!  It is so wonderful hearing how you laid your head on his shoulders. That tugged at my heart!

You keep coming here if you like!  You are our family!

So sorry for your loss,Pippy.  You were a Devoted daughter to your father!
