I loved, still, your Dad. As you say, he had the girt of seeing the wonderfulness in others, no matter how they appeared. He was brave in his chosen career and on his sailboat. I will always treasure the brief moments I got to see him in his element, including singing with you or reading Billy Elliot to whomever was present. Your essay gave me a window into his last days in such a visceral way. He was lucky, he made his luck, and he had five amazing daughters!
