What a story. I have read a few of these today and it's striking a chord in me as I've been disconnected with my Family for the past 6 years. My memories of my childhood and of them are becoming more and more faint. They didn't pass but it seems as if they did. I often ask myself if they did how would I feel and would I be ok with living today as I am. It's nice that you were able to reconnect, even though during this very unfortunate time. It sounds like it maybe have brought some closure for you as well. Very inspirational that you were able to forgive and visit with him during his last few days.
