Welcome back, TVC. I hope you can soak in the loving care that's here for you...I was so very sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I lost my Dad in 1999, but still miss him more than words can say. It's a hole that never goes away, though for me it did change over time (albeit, for me a long time) from being a dark empty aching pit to a gentle reminder of all the awesome joy and loving goodness that my Dad gave while he was alive.

My heart aches with you...know you're not alone.
