Hi Cathie
Thank you very much for posting this extremely moving message.
I lost my father recently after he had suffered from Alzhiemers for a couple of years.
After he past on the family was very quiet and I think relieved that his suffering was over.
I always think of my father as my hero because he worked more than one job to support our family. At his funeral I stood up in the chapel and asked people to put their hands up if they knew my father at some point during his life. They looked a little unsure but they put them up anyway. Then I said put them up if you liked and respected my father and everyone put up their hands. Then I drove the Priest insane by asking everyone to give the man in the box a round of applause for everything he had done for my family.
He left one hell of a shadow to get out from under but he also gave me the desire to succeed. PS, sorry for going on. Ian.
