So sorry for your loss but understand your situation. WW2 vet and POW Dad passed in 1996. Mom, in much the same situation as your dad, passed 4 weeks ago. The generation that is swiftly leaving us left many of us with a great moral foundation. Many in our generation left behind our parents philosophy for a complete hedonistic point of view. Happily, many of our children are coming back to their roots and are, unselfishly, taking responsibility for the betterment of our country. May your dad rest in peace; he has certainly earned it.
What a beautiful and comforting passage -- thanks.
