I wanted to message you privately- immediately, after hearing this. All I can say at the moment is that your Father sounds like the Mother I was fortunate enough to have been blessed with. It is heartbreaking. I'm not one to say prayers often but I'll say one for you and your loved ones. I never messaged you before but I want to thank your Dad for bringing someone into this world that brings joy to the heart of someone that deals with crippling depression; me.
You. You bring joy to my life when you write and livestream.
I cannot thank you enough for that as apparently your Father instilled in you what my Mother instilled in me. Please be good to yourself. I wish you and your loved ones the very best. Sincerely, Adam
I read this great, worthwhile message to us, after a long day. It was a kind note I needed that will help, incidentally, frame a condolence note to a close political friend whose husband suddenly passed.
Thanks, Kevin!
Regardless of how this may strike some: I don't regard death as an ending. It's merely a break in a relationship that will end, like one party undertaking a trip, either longer or shorter, but with an inevitable, eventual reunion. There's pain in the parting, when you're fortunate.
Sharing what you and your family learned from your Dad and Mom helps your community as well.
Glad even more so that I am a reader and subscriber!
Poignant, and I am so sorry for your loss. “Be with someone” makes me think of “abide with me” which, since you mentioned Hollywood and your father has a spectacular head of hair, leads me to “the Dude abides.”
From one kid of a legal pad parent to another - thank you for these words so we can all bear witness and abide. 💕
Be with someone. A perfect way to remember your father. Especially at a time of the year, the holiday season, when it is a struggle against loneliness for many. A time to reach out and let someone know you are thinking about them Thank you for your post
I, too, lost my father unexpectedly. It took me over a decade to separate his life from his death. Your ability to express his life, love, and lasting legacy truly warms my heart and reflects great strength. Reach out if you ever need to chat. All my best to you and your family.
What a lovely tribute. My deepest condolences to all who loved him.
Lovely tribute
Beautiful - thank you for sharing it with us. ❤️🩹

What a gift. May his memory be a blessing to you.
Thank you for sharing this, and him, with all of us. A lovely way to memorialize his memory. 💜
This is beautiful. You are very lucky indeed.
What a beautiful remembrance of you dad. Thank you for sharing.
Not just memories, but lessons. Beautifully done, Kevin.
