Oh Dana! I'm so sorry for your loss, but glad that you were there for him at the last.
Cherish those memories of happy times with him - take them out often and polish them - admire them and share them.
Hugs to you and your family at this sad time.

Sorry, Dana.
Let the memories console you. Nothing can ever take these away.

It sounds like your Dad was a good guy and you had a good relationship with him. That's something to treasure even now.

Peace be with you.

This morning I went to the hospital with my mum and my brother and held dad's hand whilst he died.

Fitting and proper and sad. I've been in that chair myself--it wasn't pleasant. But it did have a definite sense of closure about it. I'm glad to hear you sounding as together as you do, for whatever reason. That's a good thing. I'm very sad to hear about your loss, even though it was graceful.

Quote:

...And the person he felt closest to no longer there.

reminds me of this...

Quote:

When I Get Where I'm Going
by Brad Paisley (Feat. Dolly Parton)

When I get where I'm going
on the far side of the sky.
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly.

I'm gonna land beside a lion,
and run my fingers through his mane.
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain

(Chorus)
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
I will shed the sins and struggles,
I have carried all these years.
And I'll leave my heart wide open,
I will love and have no fear.
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
Don't cry for me down here.

I'm gonna walk with my grandaddy,
and he'll match me step for step,
and I'll tell him how I missed him,
every minute since he left.
Then I'll hug his neck.

(Chorus)

So much pain and so much darkness,
in this world we stumble through.
All these questions, I can't answer,
so much work to do.

But when I get where I'm going,
and I see my Maker's face.
I'll stand forever in the light,
of His amazing grace.
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
Hallelujah!
I will love and have no fear.
When I get where I'm going.
Yeah when I get where I'm going.
