My Dad

My dad passed away the other day. It was unexpected and sudden. I understand that it was quick. I am sad and I will miss him. I am glad that I got to talk to him the day before. He seemed happy, we got to say goodbye and that we loved each other, although I did not know that that would be the last time we would talk, it was a good one. I am at peace, I believe, with his passing.Things changed so suddenly at that point. The house that he was living in is now suddenly mine, so my wife and little boy are moving back. We found family on his side that we did not know even existed nor how incredibly close that they were. He had two cousins that lived in the same state as him and one was less than 80 miles away and he never knew. I was able to trace my family history back to my great grandfather. I got a list of family history that I haven’t sorted out yet. I have a great uncle that died in WW II whose grave site is in the same town that I live in. first chance I get I will visit it. I am not sure why, only that it is a national cemetery where he is buried and I think I should. I never knew where any of my family was buried, not to mention that I have never been to a relatives grave site. My great uncle went down in his plane before my dad was born, but still I would like to visit him. My mom was cremated after she died 13 years ago from lung cancer. Now my dad is too. We will mix their ashes and then we have not decided what we will do with them from there. I love you Mom and Dad and I will miss you both.
