Dad made his passage to the next life at 1:18 am this morning, with Mom, Katy & Jeff & I present. It was a peaceful, awe-inspiring time. His breaths became shorter and less pronounced, in the way that the lapping waves on the shore – after the wake of a passing ship – become less pronounced and then fade entirely. His ship is now creating a wake in other waters.

Hi Clayt,
Thank you for sharing this lovely post, and remembering Dad and that sacred time together. I will forever cherish that night together, with you, Dad, Jeff, and Mom.
Beautiful image and words-indeed, onto his next life and he’s living it and breathing it there on the other side; so happy and full of life and vibrancy.
Love & Hugs, Katy
Memory eternal!
