This is a beautiful story. I remember when I realized that my parents weren't omnipotent and didn't know everything. I was shocked and let down. Through the years they did actually let me down numerous times. But I finally realized that not only aren't they omnipotent, they're just humans doing their best and sometimes kids see the best their parents can muster as not enough. Bless you for seeing your dad's humanity.
Your loss was monumental. And the grace with which you handled your children’s loss was even greater. I only hope to show that kind of connection the next time loss comes to my family. Thank you.
OMG, I am crying like a baby. So sorry for your loss! I laud the way you handled the situation with your children. I think someday you'll be declared a saint...I'm so honored that I know you via social media and maybe someday, I will get to meet you face to fqce. You are such an inspiration! I send you bright light, love, and a bear hug!

Thank you for sharing your story and pain.
As an imperfect parent and and imperfect partner, I needed your words today.
Oh Nathan, I'm so sorry for your family's loss. Beautiful story, makes me tear up. Those family rituals are so important.
