Stephanie..the worst is now. Things will ease up in time. You WILL figure out how to go on as there are a lot of people who need you. You may feel your dad's presence near you very closely for a long time. That's a good thing. Just remember all the good times and all his wisdom and love that you had together. Be sure you set aside time about next early August for the next reunion. You'll enjoy meeting some great people who knew your dad and can undoubtedly give you some very happy memories. You will also gain a new depth of understanding of your dad in a new light. Jump in here and help keep these men in line or you will note how they start all these female jokes. Your wit is needed!!!
