I’m so sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. What a very difficult year it has been for your family. Sending Love, Comfort and Hugs. The sparkle in your Dad’s eyes dimmed when he didn’t have your Mom beside him. I enjoyed greeting him when he came for visits, then seeing them together each day. My heart is sad that I won’t see him again, but I now know that the sparkle is back in his eyes, shining bright as he is again with your Mom. My deepest and heart felt condolences. XO
