So(after three false starts and four wasted steadfast preparing) My dad has officially passed on at 3:35pm. Thanks to my Uncle on my mom's side, we will be making preparations to honor at lease one of his wishes which was to be cremated(unfortunately we don't own, let alone have space for a lemon tree for the other half of his wish).
I've been surprisingly stable and been keeping my cool mom strong but I've already started to feel a space missing(comments that won't be replied to, jokes that have loss the targeted audience, soon it will be expecting him to return when I should know better) but I've not buckled under the sorrow so its a start
