I am still in the US with Dad. We spend almost every waking hour together and I continue to feel so grateful for this chance to be with him. He is a brave man. In spite of his age (86) and his enormous loss, he continues to smile and make jokes. He knows we want him to be happy. Right after the funeral, this is how he looked, but by then he knew I was taking the photograph. A few minutes earlier, I had caught him in this pensive state, and I love the look: so thoughtful, so sad, so true.
