  1. Biru, Thanks for sharing your tribute and your father in words and video. What I do read and see is that you were unconditionally loved. You were given a phenomenal gift to be cherished for all your days. I've learned that some children are not that lucky, so they have a sense of relief at their parent's death. My mother died on Christmas Eve and even though there have been several months distance, the separation wells up and I feel the absolute longing to have her back again. That of course, is not an option. Through the grief cycle, I've found that there are two strands of emotion twined together like DNA spirals. One is that I miss my mother's presence and ache with the pain, the other that I had the gift of time with a fabulous parent whom I was priviledged to have loved and be nurtured by. There's so much talk about taking the time to go through the grief and define it as needed and I've found that I let it be experienced as it comes. So I cry, I miss her, I talk to her, I write letters to her, I think of her, I laugh with her, I wallow is pain and I pick myself up and shake off the dust and go out in the world and play again. All I can say, is that I was so extremely fortunate to have had her in my life and I never truly understood the love she gave me until her departure. She makes me smile and I carry that in my heart each and every day. And who she was still ripples forth in how I treat other people and the kindness and love of learning she instilled in me. I'm terribly sorry for your loss and wish you long, lovely memories to remember. Tears are simply liquid emotions. -PAB
