I am so sorry, Stephanie.
Thank you for this post.
It inspired me to call my father today. I've only seen him once in the past 40 years, though we talk on the phone a few times each year. When I called, my half-brother (who I've only seen once, ever) answered the phone.
It was really, really great to talk with both of them.
PS I cried when you were telling me about your dad's last days. I'm sorry he has died. I'm glad that you and your siblings were able to be there for him.
I just remembered something. My dad took the photo of me with the troll dolls and my arm in a cast. It was after the divorce. He made us these cool little houses for our troll dolls.
I'm so sorry to hear about your father.
I can only imagine the stuff you're going through.
I think about you and your family a lot.
Eddie was/is a cool dude. I'm glad I got to meet him.
That's a bummer, man. Ditto what Chel said, I dug Eddie.
