Mike..

*hugs*

My heart goes out to you and your family with the passing of your father, Caleigh's granddaddy and all the people your dad touched in his life.

Nothing replaces a father... and a parent is always too young to die. The love of your family, working together, the preciousness of Caleigh all help as you navigate through this sad time.

I'm still learning about this lingering loss. Let the tears come, the laughter, the anger, the disbelief, the sorrow, the hurt. Be prepared for your father's passing to rip open old wounds and hurts. Everything intensifies.

You are loved, are an incredible guy.. a reflection of your upbringing. I'm sure over time you gave your dad more fun and laughter that those hair tearing out moments.. though I'm sure you snuck in a few.

Sending prayers, caring and solace..

*hugs*
