Edith, what a beautiful story of love and devotion.

I can imagine why you were always dreading that call. How lovely that Bernie handled it so well.

And oh, my - your father died on Christmas! An emotional enough season without that memory. Or I suppose, given that your father was solid in his Christian faith, maybe it feels appropriate and right.

I can promise you, yes, you will see him again in the next life.

Thanks so much for sharing this, Edith. Such a beautiful story.
