Your father sounded so much like mine that I found myself bawling just reading your beautiful eulogy. If it is any comfort, there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of him at least a dozen times. It is true, they never really do leave you if they have left a place in your heart.
May his soul rest in peace. Please accept my sincere condolences and prayers for your family.
...place in your heart.
Beautiful phrase--thank you. And as for you "bawling" your eyes out...I know it was in a good way.
