Goodbye my friend, may peace be in your perpetual rest and may your family rejoice that you are at home with your father. I learned many things from Jimmy. The most important thing is always do the right thing even if it's not popular. Be honest and try your hardest and you'll never forget the journey. It's not the things you find it's the journey of the hunt.

There will never be enough words to express the Deep, Profound and Complex Bond I shared with my Father. It was and forever will be an eternal connection I will continue to carry into each lifetime. The depth of the layers of Love we shared are as wide as the galaxies of this universe. In an attempt to describe this in human form and grasp the true nature of our interconnection cannot bring enough light to our relatedness.
It has been my highest honor in life to be my fathers daughter. It has been my sincerest pleasure to be his advocate and warrior on earth. To serve him and care for his every need in these last years has been my way of conveying my most heartfelt devotion.
In his final days the Lord sent me many signs and people my way to guide me to be by my fathers side. It was both of our determinations to manifest togetherness in his final hours. The spiritual evidence I picked up each day this week all led me to my Daddy and to our four day goodbye.
During this lockdown we didn't have a window, however in Daddy's final days he was moved into isolation wherein fact he had a window facing the outside of the building in a private court yard. I began calling it the gate to the secret garden and Jimmys drive up window. This window was cracked just slightly enough so the sound of my voice could carry the comfort he needed to be in peace and not feel alone.
From sunrise to sunset and into the night I was at his window and when I was allowed inside I went in for whatever time slot I was given. Only to find myself back at the window whispering all the words we always spoke to each other.
Over the course of four days I was able to express every desire of my heart to him. On Daddy's final day we had a GLORIOUS day together celebrating our love and his beautiful spirit. He wasn't able to speak but his heart did. He squeezed my hand for hours and in the presence of his favorite hymns he found the strength of a giant to raise our hands in praise to God for allowing us this blessing.
He went so peacefully. He wasn't in any pain and as he always told me and I told him many times on Sunday The Most Important Thing is We Are Together. His voice that carried his spirit will echo in my heart forever. My Dad was and is my greatest treasure in life. I can truly express that I fulfilled my mission with him to the very best of my ability and we shared our highest victory to the end!
♥
Daddy always told me When I kick the bucket, make sure you bring me home to Packerville Canterbury, CT. I promised him I'd fulfill all of his wishes to the very best of my ability and I will.
We are all experiencing a new time and a new era. A celebration of Dads life will be announced in the near future when we can all rejoice and be happy for all of our great times with him. This celebration will take place in his home town of Canterbury, CT.
REST IN PEACE TO MY LEGEND AND THE BEST DAD IN THE WORLD!
