Such a beautifully, bittersweet moment has played out. No more strokes or health issues. You now have eternal life, and, now mom is with you. Here at home, it's hard. Emotions are still raw, and I still miss you terribly. Thank you for my life, and for my sisters, who I have leaned on every day since your passing. I don't know what the "new normal" will look like, but it will always have an empty space in my heart. I love you dad
