(with sincere apologies for this lengthy, rather personal account from someone as emotional as Evan ~ we don’t know each other but he and I have similar thoughts and feelings regarding our families… Hardly a ‘professional’ message, rather ~ these are words from my heart…)
Dear Evan and family ~
I am so sorry to have learned of your Dad’s passing, knowing how very much he was cherished by you, your family and friends, I offer you my deepest condolences.. My heart truly aches with sadness for you and those closest to you. I hope your Mom is doing well.
My ears perk up whenever you mention family members on your radio show ~ hearing your exuberance, love and pride, be it for an individual or the entire clan — I shed tears because I am overly sentimental and can relate to those words and feelings with respect to my own family.
I lost my own Dad 2 & 1/2 years ago due to heart failure ~ he was 88 yrs old, just 2 weeks shy of my parents’ 65th wedding anniversary… You might remember an email I sent to you: ‘I will never forget the feeling of that last hug he and I shared’ ~ it was such a sweet moment, just me and my Dad, punctuated with our bantering: ‘love you’ ‘love you more’… My Dad slipped away 10 days after he was admitted to the Perth hospital, leaving me to cope with an open wound in both my heart and my mind. There’s an old adage which says ‘time heals all wounds’ which will never completely heal. Not a day goes by when I don’t think of him and wipe away a tear or two…
I took something of his that brings me comfort on the bad days ~ his Brut cologne ~ it sits on my vanity. When I feel the need, the scent of my Dad — his Brut — calms me down, making all things negative a bit easier to handle. Added to that is an assortment of cardigans which, when worn, remind me of our hugs with his arms around me… sigh.
Evan — as unconventional as this message is, my intention was simply for you to know how very much I care. You’re so lucky to be a part of such a loving family ~ you all are reeling from having to say good bye to your Dad. However, never forget the memories of the special times with your Dad either as a group or individually… Inevitably there will be humorous stories that will ease their way through the sadness — something funny that involved your Dad and you kids, maybe when you went fishing. The ensuing laughter will turn into tears when reality hits ~ ‘Dad’s gone’. Latch onto the sibs, cousins, everyone who played a part in the making of those memories ~ silly/sad precious moments unique to the Solomon family…
In closing — take good care of yourself, your wife and kids. Be sure to watch over your Mom during this incredibly sad time… She must be devastated.
