My wife and I are very sorry to hear that; and we send you our deepest condolences.

Sorry, Arthur.

Dad died six years ago, Mom two years ago. No matter how long it's been since you lived with them, no matter how long you've had your own life, it always brings you up short.

Sorry for your loss, Arthur. In the case of both of my parents, it was a relief for them, which is still of little comfort to the rest of us.

Take care.

My dad's been gone for over ten years. But, I still have conversations with him while in twilight sleep.

I hope your dad continues to talk to and advise you for many years.
