And what a fantastic send-off--with those Scottish tams and the bagpipes playing Amazing Grace. Whenever I hear the sound of bagpipes playing at somebody's funeral, the hairs on the back of my neck always stand to attention.
I don't think there's any great need to mourn your father, because it sounds as though he had such a big influence on your life that his presence will always be with you.
It seems that you have a healthy attitude about his passing and
that is good. Indeed, you were very lucky to have had him in your life for so long. The memory of his; laughter, company, teachings and even his dna live on within you. We only can accept and continue on. I'm sure that is what he would want for you.
I share a great empathy with you... as my own Father is now nearing the end of his life in hospital (for the fifth time) because of a rare form of Cancer that he has been so bravely fighting.
As I watch his desperate fight, I am already grieving prematurely for the man he once was. There is helplessness and beyond helplessness and that is what I feel right now.
"A source of strength in a world of uncertainty"... I can identify with that too... having no idea who I will turn to once he has gone.
Your tribute is beautiful to what must have been a very special man.
I am sure he was as proud of you as you were of him.
Take care!
