Can we ever fill those boots .Just being there for him is a great way to walk in those boots

so many families can’t or will not see their loved ones to the other realm

Be Well

R.I.P. to your Dad and thanks for the eloquent tribute. I lost my Dad a few years ago (because it was Covid times I had to see him through a window) and am in the process of losing my mother, I feel for you and wish you the best.

I'm an old man. I've lost my parents, my wife, extended family, dogs, cats, even places have changed irrevocably, they're "dead" in a way. He sounds like a fine man. Something I learned when I attended a support group after my wife died, it's that we wouldn't grieve if we hadn't had something wonderful to begin with. I learned this one on my own, the best memorial for all of them is to carry on, keep moving forward, and live the best possible life you know how to live. You take care.
