roadrunner4man, I have nothing to add about your encounter. You have received good info.

However, 6 months ago I lost my 95 year old Dad. In the last half of our lives he had become a good friend as well as my Dad. I appreciate what you are currently experiencing. I pray that your love for him will carry you through this stressful and conflicted time. Keep the good memories in the forefront of your mind to help you through it all.

I have found that, from time to time, situations occur that will choke me up when I am talking or tears will form when I hear a song or think of a particular time involving him (like now as I write this). Know that this is a good thing. It lets the grief come out in moderate doses that you can manage.

Think how sad it would be if you hadn't had a relationship where there was enough of a bond and a love that would cause such emotions to expose themselves.

There are many of us here who will, or have, said a prayer for you and your family.

Be well.
