My dad has died. "I have to leave you soon"...

[helen99]

Several months back I heard the phrase, "I have to leave you soon" spoken silently in the back of my mind. I guess it was expected. It is still difficult.

There are only a few people in the world, less than I can count on one hand, who are always truly glad to see me, truly glad to hear from me, and love me above all others without question. Now there is one less such person in the world. Goodbye daddy. We're glad there's no more pain. Until we meet again.

What is remembered, lives.

We're sorry for your loss.

So I have been told. But there's so much about him that I never knew, that happened long before I existed, when the world was different. That part. And the part that was able to give me a hug.
