And in a moment the memories are all that remain - a line I never really thought about until it became reality this morning when I received the news of my father's death. I still held his hand a few hours before.
I don't even know why I'm posting this here.
Oh, my,
Perun, I completely missed this. I'm really sorry for your loss (hope you know me enough to know I mean it when I say it) and I hope you'll manage the following weeks and months somehow. It is an uneasy experience and a challenge to manage to keep going at such times, to everyone.
I personally am dreading this, with my parents and especially my father being really estranged - although I've done as much as I could, I know I will feel like it wasn't enough when the time comes. If your relationship wasn't damaged somehow, you might take some comfort in that.
In any case, you yourself said that we are the complete opposites as persons, as thinkers, yet although you probably need time and space right now, if you felt the need, feel free to contact me in any way. I would like to be there for you, if you needed to.
Hang on there, brother. Sending you thoughts and prayers, but... you know, the
actual ones.
