I feel like for a week I'd been hearing people offer you their sympathies but somehow I couldn't figure out what had happened...somehow the crucial detail wasn't appearing in the conversation. And I was terrified, to my shame, of asking.

So sorry, Don. This is a beautiful eulogy and I wish you'd never been given the reason to write it.

I'm so hugely sorry for your loss. You wrote beautifully, and I'm sure spoke beautifully as well. I'm so sad you had to.

Thank you so much for that Don. And while it may have rekindled some tears for my father, that are far from finished anyway, it reminded me to definitely focus on the good times we had. I often find myself wallowing in self pity because he's gone, and I miss him every single day, and I just keep saying it's not fair that they couldn't help him more than they did. But hey, he got to walk me down the aisle before we lost him, and I know that meant the world to him ( ... )
