my half sister just passed away from breast cancer less than 2 months ago and am struggling with what to say to my somewhat estranged father in a letter to be included with his father's day card. thank you for sharing your feelings in a matter that i could never fully understand, for my children have 4 legs that i didnt give birth to. sis was almost 60 years old, and i cannot imagine what my dad is going through, yet, he is a man who has managed to endure many unimaginable sufferings he seemingly just overcomes. my pain is so profound but my father must, on some level, be experiencing such unimaginably profound grief that his busy schedule cannot protect him from. i'm so sorry for your loss, and thank you for helping me to find a way to reach out to him in a way that i hope wont be superficial or insensitive -there there its all better now.
of course i should call and reach out, but, lacking that closeness, at least i may write something that can convey a level of love and sympathy inspired, at least in part, by attempting to understand your own profound pain.
sorry if i said anything selfish or insensitive, bless you
