Today is Father's Day. Yesterday we had a ceremony up on your property to bury your ashes on your favorite spot of your land. Mom had a bench built as a shrine, Jerry designed it and he and John built it. Matt and I planted some plants and Ron and his sons poured cement for each family to put their names, their children's and our grandchildren's handprints to be there forever. Mom bought some beautiful trees that will grow and give some nice shade to make the bench a great place to sit and mediate. Jennifer orchestrated the ceremony and it was a very nice event. She read a lovely poem and then turned the ceremony over to the rest of us to get up and read and tell a story about you. I got up and read a poem in your honor, but couldn't keep from crying. Matthew related how much he enjoyed being in your company and how much he is missing you. I was so proud of him. Burying your ashes was difficult for me. I miss you so much dad, I want you to know I loved you so much and trusted and listened to your values. Your zest for life are sorely missed by mom, your children and grandchildren. These past six months have shown all of us how difficult it is to lose someone you love and respect as much as we all loved and respected you. You were a great man and I am so lucky that you were my dad. Home is not the same without you. I love you so. Happy Father's Day. i miss my dad, grieve, greive, bereave, loss, bereavment, breavement, greiving, grieving, death, i, miss, my, dad, sad, passed, passed away, away, died, i miss my dad grieve greive bereave loss bereavment breavement greiving grieving death sad passed away died
