thank you so much. it was so painful to know. it's still so very painful to think about.

petunia did something very wonderful for me, though, that i can print out...she reminded me that i can always talk to him, even tho i'll never hear that one-of-a-kind voice (he was a marine corps drill sergeant for a while...lol) again.

thank you so much. four months later, i'm just beginning to feel the full grief of my father.
