It bothers me about as much as the rain.

I'm very sorry to hear about your father's passing. I can relate to what you said. Both my parents and brother had passed away in the last 22 years, about eight years apart each. I felt nothing when all three of them passed away.
With my father it was a matter of time because he was old and struggling with a heart issue. My mother was older than he when she passed and had dementia. I wasn't that close to her. And my brother passed away because he hadn't taken good care of himself.
All and all, I felt like I didn't have a great family, so I guess that's why I didn't feel much of anything when they passed away. We weren't close and didn't get along.
Funny thing is that lately my sister has been telling me that she is looking forward in going to heaven. I think that things in general are not going well for her. I guess that's why she's looking forward to heaven.
