Wish I could feel happy about the ATH. Dad died. Police came to tell me they found him in his apartment after residents called in because of a smell. Happened while I was on vacation in Italy. I really don't know what to feel, just keeping myself distracted.
Just saw your post... Sorry for your loss, brother. My deepest condolences.
I lost my dad when I was thousands of miles away, in another country. My mum and relatives were next to him throughout his decline. No one told me about it, until it was too late -- his request. He was gone in a few months due to cancer. Being close to your loved ones and having the chance to say goodbye is important. We should always try to keep in touch with our parents and be kind to them, and close to them, no matter what has happened in our lives and how distant we may have become.
Cheesy as it may sound, I always tear up when listening to this song. What I would give today to spend a day with my dad...
