Hey Jules,
Another beautifully written post, even in this time of great sorrow. Your “delivery” should arrive tomorrow. Hopefully, it will come before or after the services. Love to you and the family.

There definitely is that feeling of realization that even though you feel the world is forever changed, life still goes on. However, that is what ultimately helps and heals you. Thank goodness for wonderful friends and family! I’m with my mom’s family right now and I’m grateful that they always make me feel closer to her, or at least less alone in missing her. xx

So sorry for your loss. Basin Sag olsun. My wife just lost her father on the day before New Years Eve and it was so hard. It still is, of course. I’m so glad we were here in Turkey for it, because we’ve been able to be there for her mom, but I can’t imagine losing one of my own parents when I’m here. Stay strong.

Dear Jules,
I am an old friend of your mom’s and through the years she has kept me proudly informed of your life, Eliot’s life and her beloved husband’s life.
It was always very obvious her family was rich with love and happiness and
her relationship with your dad was truly a “love story.”
I am sincerely saddened with your dad’s passing but I am certain your presence and Eliot’s is a wonderful comfort.
Hold onto those beautiful memories…….

Warm regards,
gail merloni

Dear Jules, Well said…. I have been thinking of all the things Dan was and is still to me and how very lucky I am that he was part of my life. I loved him, we butted heads on occasion but I always, always valued his advice and insight while I worked through the stuff I might not have wanted to hear. I will miss him and always be great full that I got to dance in that universe from time to time. Love You Honey xxoo rosebud

My Dear Friend,
What a beautiful tribute to your dad. It is also showing of what a wonderful, beautiful, and talented person you are. So lucky to call you friend and lucky to have had the chance to meet your dad. Love you.

Hello Sarah,
I remember girl scouts at your house too. And the smell of fries as my dad drove by in his vegetable oil powered car.
Hope you are doing well and thank you for your kind words and prayers.

Julia,
I know we haven’t seen or talked to each other in years but I’ve been reading your blog and I just want you to know how truly sorry I am for your loss. I have such fond memories of our childhood in girl scouts and even though I didn’t really know your father, I have surprisingly vivid memories of seeing him around town, seeing him drive past our house in his awesome oil fueled black Mercedes (we remember strange things don’t we?) But I just wanted you to know that I’m thinking of you and your family and praying for comfort for you all in this difficult time.

Sarah

Hi Liz, Thank you for your comments and support. It is hard. My dad was so amazing. Today I didn’t die of sadness. So tomorrow is the next step. I wish you the best with your father and his journey.

Jules
