Words cannot express the lost and emptiness this guy left. During my final visits with my dad, he looked at me and I knew right then that he was too tired to battle his illness. As he continued to look at me, he shared his thoughts and what he wanted me to do. I acknowledged his requests, and felt his stress and tension just dissipate.

There will forever be a hole within me that no one can ever fill.
