My Dad's Death Was Almost a Year Ago

My father died almost a year ago. I wrote about it here, describing his death at the age of 90. I said then that I was grateful to him for adopting me, and I remain very grateful for that. I also appreciated learning so many things about life by watching him.

A few days after his death, my family and I were omitted from his obituary. I discussed this here a few days after his funeral. I said then that I did not understand why I was not included, and I still don't know. I have not spoken at all or communicated in any way with my mother, my sister or my brother since the funeral. This is not a complaint! I did learn that my mother is living at my sister's rent-house with her as I wrote her in late May.

I do think about my father occasionally. I remain glad that he is no longer suffering physically as he did from the cancer. I remain grateful for the good things that I did learn from him and for the bad ones that I learned to avoid.
