I knew your mother better than I knew your dad (I worked at NW in TRF), but they both helped me through some difficult times in my life. I have tried to pass along their love and compassion they showed me to others. "Normalacy" changes when we lose our parents, but we do go on to realize how truely remarkable people they really were.

Mary told me that part of the reason that he bought the Focus was that you and Paul had been such good friends to both Mom and Dad and that he felt bad that he had never bought a car from C & M Ford. He really appreciated your friendship. Theo, I appreciate it, and both you and Eamon have been very supportive in the past as well. Thanks, Kristin.

A tribute to Harold and how well said. Great photo.Thinking of you all and missing him too. Harold was a character and a good egg, too. We are all better for knowing him and of course your mom also.

Thanks for posting your tribute - the world is surely a better place for having had your father in it. (March 13 marked 2 years since I bade farewell to my stepfather who suddenly and unexpectedly died of a stroke at age 82.) Mike:

I lost my own father when I was 17, so I missed out on a lot. Your post was wonderfully written, and expresses a lot of true sentiment. Couldn't ask for more than that. Thanks for letting us get to know your dad a little bit through your writings. My thoughts are with you, Mike. I lost my own father when I was 17, so I missed out on a lot.

Your grief is your own and no one else has the right to it, so experience it as you must, not as they expect. Condolences to you and your family.

That was a great tribute. Be thankful that you had some time to prepare, but otherwise do not feel guilty if you are not living up to some societal expectation of overt grief display. It sounds like your dad was a good guy, and no one can fault him for making the decision to end his life. In my fictional history there is an old saying: "Do not weep for the dead, for they have found peace, but rather for those in the world who still struggle."
