...and way earlier
Grieved to say...my Dad just died, not three weeks before his 88th birthday. Burial was Friday. Couldn't help scattering some memorial thoughts around the Internet: "What a Dad I Had," MaryJanesFarm.org, "Suburban Farmgirl" post "A Parent's Death Is Never Expected, Even When It Is," Caring.com, Caring Currents post "What Every Caregiver Knows: Love Is a Verb," Caring.com "Should Kids Attend a Funeral?" The Daily WD, Woman's Day "Momfidence" post Ironically, I wrote "6 Reason's a Parent's Death Is a Special Kind of Loss" for Caring about a week before Dad died -- having no idea it was that imminent.
So weird to be an orphan... |
