This is wonderful. I’ve thought the same things about my dad seeing our homestead…he would have loved the veg garden, and the view of the parkland and farm fields. Thank you.

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.
