In reply to the discussion: My dad died Saturday. [View all]emmaverybo
(8,147 posts)78. I am so sorry. How wonderful he had you to care for him. I lost my mom two years ago. Not a
        day, and sometimes not too many hours, go by that I dont miss her. I am wishing you comfort in your grief. No matter the age they pass, we would have wanted them with us longer if only they did not suffer. Treat yourself very kindly.
