Val, it was my honor to have had your dad as a part of my life, when he met and married my best friend. He truly was a nice man and I will miss him dearly! My prayers continue for you all as you learn a new normal in life without him here. 🙏 Remember the good memories. I know your heart feels broken 💔 and it takes everything you have to get through each day. Just to get out of bed each day is a struggle. What would your dad say, he would say get up and do what you gotta do! We will always grieve on one level or another, as time passes it changes. You enjoy your memories and you begin to laugh and smile again. But there is no time limit and overwhelming sadness fills you when you least expect it. A memory or a smell or something someone says and it all comes flooding in. You won't stay there as long as time passes. Just remember it is OK to feel your feelings. It's not right or wrong they just are. Own your feelings and allow yourself to feel them! Hugs to you all! God Bless!
