Yeah, she still lives at home, so that's a real blessing.

She's having a hard time too though. They both have a lot of guilt over things. My sister was not very close with my Dad until the last year (thank God she had that).

My Mom was kind of a negative person and now she feels guilty for all the nagging and stuff. You know, the typical things. Not appreciating what you have until it's gone.

I'm very fortunate, my father and I became very close over the past five years, and while there's a few things I wish I had done differnetly there's really no regrets on my part. He knew how much I cared about him and that I was proud of him.

I think my sister and mother are stuck wondering if he knew how much he meant to them.

But I know in his heart he did.
