My deepest condolences Kev. As you said, there is really no way to prepare for it even when you know it's coming. It's still just as painful. You will get through it but it will be hard. I truly believe that God gives us strength to deal with losing people we are close to. I say that because it is truly miraculous how we heal. I think you are doing the right thing by putting some of your thoughts in writing. Being open with your grief is healthy and cathartic. What you said was very touching. Your dad sounds like he was quite a guy. I'm glad you had so many great years together. God bless you and your family.
