Thank you for sharing. I’m overseas & miss my dad too. I cried all the way….
My dad is older than your dad….teaches me to appreciate him more before it’s too late….Thanks…

Very nice piece. I hope the process of carefully constructing words to honour the memory of your father provided a measure of catharsis for you.

Sorry for your loss.

My condolences. Thanks for sharing with us. I really enjoyed reading your tribute to your father. I never know what to say to someone who has lost their parent, but I do understand and feel your pain/loss. My father also passed away just as he entered retirement. It’s very difficult, but, like you said, you’ll always have the memories and stories.

Hold your head high with pride Mr. McMillin. Your father did an outstanding job raising a great son.

I can see how much you loved your Dad and how uniquely special he was. It is with a writer’s gift that you let us know him, even a little bit. He was too young to die, and this disease is so cruel.

I lost my Dad to pancreatic cancer three years ago, and I really feel for your loss.

My thoughts are with you at this time (I lost my mum this January)
