Condolences offered (not required, you noted, but I hope still not unwelcome). My father died this year (the day before Father’s Day, for whatever irony that’s worth), and I know it’s a hard row even with the fullness and goodness of his life.

Be well.

I really just tossed off that post this morning in ten minutes, but obviously I’ve been thinking about my father a little more than usual for the past three weeks. (Well, actually for the past year or three; we’d been visiting him much more often since his second wife died.)

I find it your account of your father’s life and his influence on you moving and inspiring.

No condolences, then, but heartfelt best wishes.

And based on these comments (and others elsewhere), I’d say you have very passionate readers.

I had avoided posting on this earlier because…well, Fred probably knows why. It’s not my thing. But the service provided closure of sorts; let’s say there was a lot of laughter and very few tears.

[And, odd as it may seem to say so, after the last few weeks I'm actually looking forward to putting in a full week at work next week.]
