I'm trying to understand what would motivate you to leave a comment like this on a post containing my eulogy for my father. Are you trying to be funny? If so, you failed. For the record, many of my posts are indeed fully public, except for the comments link and audio version, which are always exclusive for paying subscribers. I give away an enormous amount on my Substack, probably too much.
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. 🍃☮️🍂

Beautifully written
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".
Thanks for sharing this, may your father’s memory forever be a blessing ❤️🌹❤️
