So sorry, 'lag. Your dad was clearly an incredible man who lived a...

...rich, full life and leaves behind an awesome legacy. And good on you and your brother for being so close with him, even until the very end. You have honored your father in how you've cared for him, and in this great tribute here. Hopefully you find comfort in your many memories with your dad and can enjoy whatever the next phase of life has in store now that you will no longer be devoting so much time to caring for him. Hang in there.
