Hi Jude, I'm so sorry to hear you lost your Dad. It is a blessing that he passed away peacefully, as jno says. The older I get the more grateful I am whenever that is the case. It was good to read about how you were playing music you know he would have liked. And also, remember his night on the town!
My thoughts are with you during these difficult days. In my experience the funeral is a milestone after which you feel such great relief. It's as if things haven't really been put to rest until that day, but after it's over you can begin to remember your Dad the way he really was, and that's where the healing starts.
I don't believe I'll be back on the thread again tonight, so, see y'all soon!
