You are an amazing woman. I bet your father felt honored to have you with him as he died...his special daughter...a woman who has an unconditional love for many, including him. (I bet)

I know how very hard this must be for you. I lost my mom 2 years ago and it still rips my heart out everytime the holidays come around or when her birthday or Mother's Day rolls around.

My mom was much like your dad, except the fact that she was around. She wasn't emotional and actually seemed very distant emotionally. But she did love me...as I'm sure your dad loved you.

Although it may hurt right now, do what you think would make your dad proud, remember all his good points, and the bonding that you experienced with him. Years from now the pain will lessen and you will rejoice in remembering him (if not already).

Hang in there.
