What a lovely response. Thank you so much. We all used nicknames for dad. We called him Grumpy after one of the seven dwarfs and another which I cannot recall for the life of me. He responded positively later in the disease to expressions or sounds that were humorous. I sang to him before he passed. He loved music. Spiritually, I offer up my day to Him and to use my thoughts and prayers to help myself and others. The one thing He can use is what at times seems useless to me which is pain. Pain of any and every kind. It can be used for HIs purposes. Stay strong. If I didn’t have faith, I would be in a different place. My dad loved to listen to music all the time. Big bands. I miss my dad. I will light one of my candles for him right now. Thank you for your reply. Blessings.
