What a beautiful and heartfelt tribute. When my father passed (98, WWII veteran of the Pacific), I relayed a quote I love by the British politician Herbert Louis Samuel to the hospice doctor who had extended herself above and beyond for my Dad: “Death is not an injury, but rather life a privilege.” It didn’t make the passing easier, but it gave 98 years some deserved perspective.
Great post. Thanks so much for sharing.
