This is so beautiful. Had to write so much for Dad. Comforting to look back on.
Those simple words of comfort will get you through your lifetime. My family and I did this for both of my parents. Wish I would have had the where with all to write down what we said. That was a great idea! However, I remember scenarios with doctors, and my dad’s humor up to the end. Thanks for this.
Both have been gone – dad 23 years, mom 13 years. So good to know other families talk about dreams.
