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.

Thank you.

This song sprang to mind unbidden as I read your post, so IO thought I'd copy a few verses here.

"I danced in the morning when the world was begun
I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun
I was called from the darkness by the Song of the Earth
I joined in the singing and she gave me birth

Dance, dance wherever you may be
For I am the lord of the dance said he
And I'll lead you all wherever you may be
For I am the lord of the dance said he!"
