Wonderful tribute and memories for your father Peter. He was also our family hero. A great physician and advisor. A down-to-earth man. The Corning area was better for his practice in the area
Hi Peter, I stumbled across this tribute to your father. From the bedside vigil and overwhelming sense of grief, to the desire to have them in the room again, your words struck a chord. Having lost both my parents, you accurately captured some vivid memories of those final days and the same longing for their presence in the room again. I guess, thanks for that?! Terrific writing.
Thank you so much for this. It means a great deal to me that someone who doesn't know me stumbled across, as you put it, a piece, and it affected them enough that they wrote and told me so. I really appreciate it -- I'm doing something right.

Thank you for sharing. I found it moving and helpful as I work through the first holiday season without my Mom. Merry Christmas!
Lovely elegy, Peter, and so touching. Beautifully written, but then, all your essays are.
