Until this past Friday, I didn't fully understand.
It's a celebration.
So no tears this thread.
My father passed away Friday morning.
He lived to be in his nineties.
He was of good cheer to the end.
The legacy he left is remarkable.
Just a few of photos you might be familiar with:

My dad died when he was 60, I was just 17. He's been gone twice as long as I had him. You're very lucky.
