No apologies necessary! Your dad will be missed on this forum as he had a wealth of knowledge. I love your mom's sense of humor, she must be fun to be with especially at parties. Know this, your dad may be gone physically, but he is always around all of you. My niece is a spiritual medium. When my mom died she told me things of conversations and thoughts I had of my mom that there was no way she could have know. I truly believe our deceased love ones are always around us and that one day we will all be back together again with our love ones and friends.
