And I wonder too...who holds them together? I pray the Hands of Love will. Working in Hospice, I find there is always at least one person to hold the family together, such as you did.

Thank you for sharing such intimate and raw moments. BEing so young when you 'lost' your dad must have been very difficult. I was 43 and through nothing short of Divine Will, I began the grieving processes a few months before he actually passed over. I'm so grateful for that now, even though at the time what I was going through didn't make 'sense'. But when the day finally arrived, I was in an emotional and spiritual condition to hold the family - especially my Mother - together. I was the one who needed to speak first at his service, for example...being the older of us two kids. My brother wasn't able. I can't imagine what your mom must have gone through.
