My Dad

[CameronBornAndBred]

Thanks again to everyone. I spent lots of time with him this weekend, but unfortunately had to be back home today. (Starving artists don't get paid leave, dammit!)
While I am pretty sure he will still be there in body when I see him next, I don't expect him to be there in spirit as much, and I made the most of my opportunity yesterday to say my goodbyes. I got to hug him, and tell him that I love him while he was awake and able to respond in kind.
Afterwards, I went to his home and helped my sister and stepmom find clothes for him to wear once he leaves hospice. While choosing what we think he would appreciate, I found something for myself to wear at his memorial.

My sister found one, too. She's going to wear it around her waist as a belt.

Thank you, everyone. We are having a visitation from 11AM until 1PM on Saturday, July 16 at the Doris Duke Center in the Sarah P. Duke Gardens at 420 Anderson Street, Durham, NC 27708. Afterwards we having a private family ceremony where Dad's ashes will be placed behind an engraved brick in the gardens. We'll have a larger memorial service this Fall, I think it will be at the chapel.

I agree with DD. What a wonderful gesture.

I teared up, as well.
