Thank you also for the comment about how my dad will "talk" to us, that is very comforting. In these early confusing days we miss his physical presence, but I know in the days to come while still missing him we will also understand how much he has left behind in our lives. xoxotorthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-90797629507398672532016-01-06T22:50:32.828-08:002016-01-06T22:50:32.828-08:00Brushing away tears.

Last year a sports announcer died of brain cancer and before his death he described (something like this), "you don't lose to cancer if you die, you beat cancer by how you live with it" It sounds like your Dad sure did that. I just saw your comment about not being able to talk to your Dad anymore, and while certainly you won't have the same two sided conversations, your Dad will still talk to you; through the memories you share with AJ, and the traits, values and skills you have and teach her, your Dad will be there with you. jAllenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06282963869813954232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-14132692170220925992016-01-06T21:23:13.391-08:002016-01-06T21:23:13.391-08:00Thanks Isabelle.
