TheBanyanTree: The Death of My Father

[Theta Brentnall]

But you were useful when he could talk to you, and you let him talk out 
his sadness.  Just knowing that you were on the way may have been enough 
to give him permission to let go and move along.  You were there to help 
your sister and brothers deal with their feelings afterward and maybe 
that was the role your dad knew you could do for him.

I don't know your brothers and sister, but if they are anything like 
you, I think he did a pretty good job making all his kids turn out to be 
amazing people!

Cherish the good times - they are the only things worth remembering.
