Just so beautiful. I sometimes ask myself about how my dad would react to me living in Portugal. He’s been gone a while but his spirit still wanders inside my head a bit, from time to time.

aw. hugs from me. I had a hard time here, at first, untl my sis sort of read my mind and reassured me that he can 'find' me when I need him, even if he's never been here.

Very powerful correlations and emotions, well expressed! My father passed quickly of a similarly horrifying disease and his workshop was just as beautifully arranged.

It doesn't get easier to have them gone.

What a beautiful post. I lost my father-in-law to frontotemporal dementia in 2020. I'm so sorry for your loss.
