It has been 10 years now since my Dad went straight
to heaven, I am certain.
He was lovely. So well mannered. He never even swore!
A hyper-spaz, he was not.
The occasion here, is the arrival of
his grandson Sebastian on Christmas Eve, 1987.
That smile!
Dad spent 12 days in hospice in 2006.Jeff Calder & I took
turns spending the nights with him.
Thank you Jeff.
Growing up, I could not imagine anything more terrible
than his death. Then, I found out that there was something
more terrible-his suffering.
Dad was really smart. He knew that he couldn't control
everybody and everything. He let people be who they were.
He didn't try to hide his malice behind a mask of virtue.
He just didn't have any malice at all.
He was a good grandpa too 😇
