But I thought about the posts that were hardest for me to write, and how the comments on them continue to be important to me even now, weeks, months, years later. So I'll take the chance and just say that this is such a lovely and loving tribute to your dad. And thank you for sharing it with all of us.

You painted a wonderful picture of him for your family and friends that night. I'm sure he would have been honored to hear it. What a beautiful tribute to your father, Kim.

That is so neat! I am the family photographer and would like to create something like this for my parents for Christmas or their birthday.

I lost my dad 4 years ago, and I know and understand that hole in your life. I also know how hard the 1st (and 2nd, and 3rd, and 4th) Father's Day was for me too, so I am glad to see you on the other side. Such a lovely eulogy, and I was thinking of you yesterday too.

I kept the one you wrote about your mom when she got so sick. This was lovely about your Dad and everything I thought, but didn't really know. I just know he had 2 kids turn out to be great people so I knew he had done something right. I'm so glad you proved that to be true. I always loved your dad and feel incredible sadness that he died so young. One thing I have to address is this; your Dad did live his life as he wanted. He wanted to be loved, needed, and wanted by you and C and your family - he got that. I love you. Dear Kim,
