My dad did his best to make sure I'll be taking care of him, by taking care of my mother, for the rest of her life. I just hope I *can*.
But even so, I think that is huge to me. I've spent most of my adult life taking care of my father in one way or another. Even though I miss him every day, and think about him every day, there is something symbolic in that isn't there? Like even that tenuous hold he had to the world is gone. All that is left now are memories. I think sometimes I touch my memories every day just to make sure they are there. To make them more real, or to make him more real.
