Letting Go : Memories of Dad, 2024

Writing about my father in the weeks leading up to his passing.

It's beautiful to read these thoughts and memories. Some things I had forgotten.

I like to imagine that wherever he is, there’s a well set-up guitar there just for him. There’s a top-of-the-range stereo in a beautifully designed house with an ocean view. The garden is in full bloom, not a rabbit in sight, and there's a tripod on the deck to take photos of the birds. Waves are peeling across the bay, there's a steady offshore breeze, and the tide will be just right any moment now. See ya out there, Dad.

He looks wise and confident man

He was a good Dad and I loved him terribly.

It's been an honour and blessing to journey with you through the process of seeing your dad off. I'm very grateful to have enjoyed your heartfelt beautiful tributes of your life and experiences. ❤️🙏

That's so lovely. I appreciate it in the midst of a great deal of despair and sadness at the moment.
