What a beautiful tribute to your father, truly heartwarming! So sad that he suffered with lengthy health issues, but what a legacy he left behind, and you're right, he lives on in your heart and soul.
I love your closing phrase:
Death is change, not an end point.
Thank you for sharing your touching story here in Silver Bloggers for @galenkp's contest!

Thank you Silver-Blond Lizzie, I'm so glad that you've enjoyed my post. Many suffer like this, as I know well, so that's always in my mind.
I live by that last statement. I'm touched you picked that out to highlight. It means so much to me.
