I can't believe this is the post I am making but there is nothing else for it.
My Dad, Robert Schweda, passed away - suddenly - early Sunday morning.
The last time I saw him he was hugging me on my birthday and we shared good byes of mutual love yous and see you soons.
So now am in the midst of the rituals of leave taking and sorrow though they are not bringing the expected comfort or perspective that I have found in them in the past. Then again, I've just lost the greatest man I've ever known.
