Very moving words, I certainly thank you for sharing them here with us. I lost my mother almost 15 years ago, and I can still relate to how you describe the 'muscle memory' or trying to call them or something similar. After she died I had to get her house and car sold, so I moved into the house while I was setting it up with the realestate agent and lawyers. I still remember when I was cleaning up and couldn't find something. I stood up and just shouted "Hey mom, where's the..." and then it hit me like a ton of bricks.

Honoring your father is a fine source of motivation to write and create. I wish you the best of luck in that, and send my condolences in your time of grief.
