I know how you feel. My dad also went into hospital, and never came out. It was 3 days after my 16th birthday, 1978. I still miss him, and my mom, who passed 5 years later.

The firsts in the year after is always so poignant ... your birthday, his birthday, easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, sporting events, the first time he's not there when your kids have their birthdays. Try and do the things he loved at this time in memory of him (although I think you do that anyway, not so?).

Have a blessed season, Wii. I think about you often, wondering how you're doing. I finally found your new thread a couple of days ago, and see that you are definitely moving on in a big way. Good for you.
