Heart-breaking, love-affirming eloquence! Let the memories of happier times and your father's selfless courage throughout the decades of your lives sustain you now, in your time of keen grief.
As my Italian grandfather said about soul-crushing times such as the loss of a beloved father, "Tiempo deva passant."
(please forgive undoubtedly poor Italian spelling!) This is simply time which just must be lived through. 🍃☮️🍂
In my experience the death of a parent can be an emigration to a new country. You may never be quite as at-home as in the land of your birth, and it may never quite be home, but with time, well, it will be where you live….
Beautiful.

A tear jerker. I know similar sad but compellingly awesome backgrounds. May his memory be always a blessing to his sons.
He appears to have been a good man and a great father. May his memory be a blessing.
So very sorry for your loss; your father Irwin was a wonderful man.
Ps: my late father was also Erwin but with an "e".
