Blickley Family,
Words cannot express how it is to lose a Parent. All I can say is your journey of taking care of your Dad and being such a wonderful close family will be the most rewarding thing you will do in your life. May your memories of all the good times you had get you thru the hard days that will come. Time does heal but you always think of them every day and that is a good thing. Stay strong and take care of Mom which your family will.
