Cherish the time you had with him, but what am I saying, I know you do, and I know you always will, just as we will all cherish knowing and enjoying Larry's talent and wit. His dream will live on... Thanks for sharing him with us. Chris We will all miss Larry deeply, and your story of how you were reunited makes my heart warm.

I'm so glad you shared this blog, Scott. It is a beautiful tribute to your Dad. He was such a special man, with such a huge, generous heart. He told me he was a big, cuddly teddy bear, and he was SO RIGHT! I loved him, even though it had only been 4 short months, I did truly love him. He gave me life again, opened up the doors and windows, and breathed hope into my heart -- hope that life was still good and worth living for. Not simply existing, but really LIVING. I'm reminded of a Madeleine L'Engle book called "The Other Side of the Sun". She states: "Only on love's terrible other side is found the place where the lamb and lion abide. The other side of the sun - you have to go through it, not around it." We can go mad poking around, trying to see and change the courses of our lives. Best to let God reveal it in His own ways and in His own time. Only He knows just how much truth we can take at one sitting. So for the moment, I will content myself to know that God and Larry are laughing, talking, maybe even sharing a good pipe of tobacco, and someday, we'll join them. deb Well, my comment disappeared, so I guess I have to start over again.

I came online today to write about it as well. I've had writer's block or, more correctly labeled, a lack of an urge to write, for months. I think I'm over it now. I like what you wrote and hope it helped exorcise your emotions. So glad Cynthia's planning to continue with the compilation's publishing. Take care and see you soon. We’re on the same wavelength.

How wonderful that you had that special bond with your father in his later years. I am sure it meant the world to him, just as it seemed to have meant to you. Hold onto the memories, the good ones are all we have of our loved ones and they, along with God, shall sustain us through these dark times...I recently lost my mother, so I empathize with your loss.

I sincerely hope people are able to read your fathers work, and share in what he created over the years. I will look for it myself wherever books are sold. What a lovely eulogy!
