Dads (*sigh*)

My condolences and many hugs to Susan @ Spinning -- her father passed away this past week, and I know how difficult and painful this is for her. No matter how sick a parent is, or how old, it doesn't change how you feel when they die. It is extremely painful; your heart hurts and it feels hollow and empty. As time goes by, it gives you little gifts that will ease the pain -- snippets of conversation, moments of the past, images of family vacations, the laughter, the tears, the smiles -- cherished memories that never fade and will always remain.
