Amanda, I can’t tell you how sad this makes me. Although I never met your father, I had a sh!t ton of interaction with him and I feel like we genuinely became friends. I had always planned to pay him a visit, but as you know... life sometimes gets in the way.
Your father was larger than life and watching him fade like this must be torture. Down the road a bit, you’re gonna say something to your kids and when you open your mouth, your father’s voice will come out and you’ll smile to yourself. This happens more and more often and it makes me smile.
I won’t tell you it gets easier.... it doesn’t. You will learn to cope with it as time goes on. While you still can, go and tell him everything you want to say. Don’t leave anything out.
Remember, we’re all thinking about you guys
Peace and love to your family.
