What a beautiful tribute, Jamie. Your Dad was clearly a very special man - & you (& your brother) are so lucky to have had such a great father! I didn't know your Dad at all, really - but your words have helped me get to know (& appreciate) him. Well done, & so glad for your good fortune in having a great Dad - and so sorry, also, for your loss. I like what your friend said about grief. It resonates for me too. Very glad you wrote this, & shared it.
Thanks Janet, I'm glad you were able to be there for the initial practice runs so you were able to hear it develop and evolve. So great to see you over the past week. Lots of love!
Such a beautiful tribute, Jamie, that you wrote regarding your beautiful and giving Dad who also loved you, Rob and me so much! We all love and miss him tons…😢
Jamie, sorry we missed attending the Memorial. We have certainly spent a lot of time reminiscing about all the great time spent with your Mum and Dad. Your eulogy put these times in a special perspective, as well as bringing a tear to my eye. That pebble in your pocket will eventually shine bright as a diamond.
So sorry to hear about your father Jamie, but it sounds like a life well lived indeed. I’m sure he was so proud of you. Sending love and thoughts to you and your family out west.
Thanks Lee, means a lot. Hope all is well with you and the family these days after all the hurricanes in your area. All the best from our family to yours.

Thanks Blake, you and Dori were missed but we of course understand. Hope to see you both again soon next time we're in BC.
Thanks for sharing. You make a valuable point that considering our lives from the perspective of the obituary we aspire to is a good way to live.

Thanks Sean, it was a super powerful and valuable exercise. Hope it helps you!
Sounds morbid but I did it the first time many years ago and repeat the process periodically. The ultimate self assessment!
