So sad to hear this, my friend. Thank you for sharing so we can learn from your dad. He sounds like a wonderful man and I see his faith in you. We made a gift to LBW in his honor. May the anchor hold as you ride the waves of grief.

Visiting g after seeing your note about your healing journey. Thank you for sharing your story. It is a beautiful way to honor the memory of your father. I️ love “forever forward” and I’m sure you still hear his voice whispering that to you in tough days. My mother always whispered “there is nothing you can’t do, keep going” and so I️ do, despite the hole in my life after she passed. Wishing you strength as you move forever forward.
