And a great man has gone beyond

That would be my Dad, who passed away at about 9:30 this evening.  I don't really have a lot to say about it right now.  Kind of numb.  The thing is... He was just trapped inside that body... to the point where he couldn't even get out enough to acknowledge most of us... so now, he's out of it.  He's not trapped in there any more. He's not suffering.  I can sense him around me.  I have his song in my heart.

Thanks Doug. The funeral was a nice quiet ceremony as he would have wanted. For all my minor annoyances while he was trying to deal with things, my brother did a good job with the arrangements given that it was thrown in his lap really at the very last possible moment when mom got sick.

Mom, btw (since I know you will ask) is doing pretty well. She doesn't have much appetite back yet, but hopefully that will come in time. I don't expect anyone has much appetite after loosing a mate of more than half a century.
