I only just read this, Jean-( I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I know your Dad had become more frail during the past year, but we never really are fully prepared for this, are we. And having to say goodbye is more difficult than any words can describe. I wish you lots of strength for the funeral and wake and the days and months to come, and I will be thinking of you.
And thank you for sharing this beautiful photo of your father, what a presence he had!
Warm hugs,
Inge
