Hello dear friend @macchiata
I am very sorry to hear about your father's passing, but as you say, he has stopped crying because of the suffering caused by his illness, now he will be in a better place
I appreciate that you have shared a little about him and his personality so that those of us who did not know him can learn about him.
It is always good to accept reality, and assume that our loved one is waiting for the reunion
One day we'll be able to meet again. Even if it takes years and such. I am happy now that he's not fighting his illness in his day-to-day life.
