The past week was pretty emotional. I woke up in China to news that my dad had passed away. I was able to get a flight within 4 hours which my school pays for bereavement.
It was good to see my kids, brother and sister in law, and my mom. It is hard to believe he is gone.
Helping my brother move his shop equipment, I remembered so much about the vise on his bench. I used to help him with work or when he was helping me fix something of mine.
While I was home I ran a 5k with my daughter as that is how we work through things.
In time the regrets and the good things I remember will be worked through.
Sorry for the loss of your dad to you & your family. Good you got to see your kids. I lost mom this past Jan , the pain of missing her still intense. Take care of yourself .
