Your Dad looks and sounds like a delightful person and you have been lucky to have a father like him. I wish you strength and peace. Hugs.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-dad-1/page/2#post-2335046 Wed, 16 Aug 2023 14:47:49 +0000 JP 2335046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just saw this post and I am very sorry for your loss. I can feel your love and connection to him and I relate to everything you said (my dad passed away 5 years ago and I took it very hard). It takes courage for a dad to let his young daughter to fly away alone... My dad did the same for me and I didn't realize how difficult it must have been for him until I was much older.<br /> Take care of yourself while you are grieving, it's important. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-dad-1/page/2#post-2329961 Wed, 12 Jul 2023 04:44:41 +0000 Eliza 2329961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So very sorry for your loss. Grief accompanied by complex logistics can be doubly hard. Your father sounds remarkable and your memories of shared times are vibrant. Take good care. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-dad-1/page/2#post-2329926 Wed, 12 Jul 2023 00:29:43 +0000 Rejoiceandbe 2329926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Losing a parent is very hard at the best of times.

He sounds absolutely wonderful and so inspiring. It’s heartbreaking to lose such a dear parent. How lucky you were to have him for so long though! I hope that as the grief becomes a more gentle presence in your life, the memories and appreciation for all he gave you become even more treasured. That has been my experience (14 years since mom, 32 without my dad). Sending hugs and much love to you and your family. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-dad-1#post-2328277 Thu, 29 Jun 2023 06:34:07 +0000 slim cat 2328277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry for your loss - wonderful person and loving father. Take care of yourself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-dad-1#post-2328275 Thu, 29 Jun 2023 05:35:46 +0000 Kate 2328275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laurie, I am so sorry for your loss. Your dad sounds like a wonderful, caring father and grandfather, and an accomplished man. What a gift he gave you in enabling you to travel widely alone as a young woman. And how lucky the pair of you were to share many of the same passions and be able to spend time together enjoying them. </p> <p>As you take care of his estate, remember to carve time out to take care of yourself too. I wish you strength and comfort in this time of grief. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-dad-1#post-2328267 Thu, 29 Jun 2023 03:49:08 +0000 unfrumped 2328267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m so sorry. What a wonderful obituary. And so hard to compose one under such stress.<br /> I know the administrative tasks will have maddening moments. Or days. Peace be with you as you do these survivor duties. Focus on good memories, and things you can do to take care of yourself. </p>
