Thanks, and likewise. I'm doing quite alright, considering. As much as I miss him, I'm more than anything relieved that he's no longer suffering.

And yeah, that demystification certainly helped. So did my folks and I (and Dad) sharing a rather macabre sense of humor. Nothing could've prepared me for rigor mortis setting in, though; few things are as weird as a human body being stiff as a log.

That’s a great point that i hadn’t even considered until you said it. We would say stuff in the house that would get two laughs, the first one because it was funny and the second one because who in their right mind would joke about that.
