Oh Sammi ... this is a very touching account. The fact that you can comfortably and confidently share it with us here demonstrates that you have made piece with the loss of your dad and the emotions that gave rise to. Such accounts are very important for giving hope to others. So, thank you for taking the time to put it down in words. Some of us have been gifted with more resilience than others. While some individuals are able to just dust themselves off and go, others need a little push and understanding :)
With much love & respect,
❤
