My condolences, thoughts, love and prayers to you and your whole family as you remember your dad and mourn his passing. I am so very sorry; losing a parent is never easy, but in time, the memories will make you smile and celebrate his life rather than shed tears.
Be gentle with yourself at this difficult time. My heart goes out to you.

I am so very sorry. I lost my father five years ago - he was my best friend and we talked or were together daily. Savor every memory that floods your mind. He won't leave you - he'll always be with you, watching you every step of the way. He will see you reach your goal! My deepest sympathy and condolences sent your way today. Hugs and lots of thoughts and prayers to you.

(((HUGS))) Sorry for you loss - it is a whopper of a loss! We never get over not having our loved ones here but we move on and live our best life for them. They did not love us, care for us, do for us in vain. Our hearts are forever signed with their signature - they do not leave us ever - truly.
Take good care of you and your loved ones and . . . strangers. It mends us.
Best,
Layla
