We said goodbye to a beloved father, husband, and friend this week, and those title words from Woody Guthrie have been quietly playing in my head on repeat.
This is a beautiful and very personal tribute to Pete's father. He sounds like quite a guy. I can see a part of why Pete is the way he is. You wrote a memorable capsule of is life. The photos are wonderful, especially he and Doreen cracking up. The kitchen story was a great anecdote. It shows his patience, kindness, and ability to get along.
Sending my deep condolences to Pete and Doreen. I'm thinking of you all.
A wonderful piece Sabrina, and such a lovely account of Eric’s life. Our condolences to Pete, you and all of the family - and I absolutely loved the kitchen arranging story. 💕
Ah, thanks so much Jen. It all just came pouring out of me. I know as a fellow writer you will understand that. He was a gentle character, and will be missed.
Very sweet and touching tribute. You may enjoy Sarah Silverman's latest Netflix special, Post Mortem. She talks about her parents' recent deaths in a way that manages to be crass, funny and touching, all at once.
What a lovely tribute to a dear man! He was well-loved, and knew it, even, apparently in his last years. My love goes out to you and Pete, and all the family.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Sabrina, Pete and all the family. This was a beautiful and touching tribute ❤️
Thank you so much Jayne. Appreciate all you've said. ❤️
