This was the quote for me. Wow. The one I held on to that captured the emotion I felt when reading this. It was vivid and heartfeIt and I listened and read this so I really experienced what you wrote.

What an honorable dedication. It felt triumphant because your dad lived such an abundant life . The most powerful thing is that he lives on in your spirit.

Not saying that to be cliche. I said that because of you desscribing yourself and who your father was. You are him. He lives. Thank you for sharing this. This made me so grateful for the air that i'm blessed to be inhaling in my lungs right now.
