Well done sya on being so organised. Little cries are to be expected, they catch you off guard sometimes. It's so hard losing a loved one. I especially empathise with you losing your dad as much as I loved my mum, she was a good mum, my dad was my world, I was so in tune with him and felt so bereft when he died. But as your own dad said, he had a good life, lovely family, loved and was loved and in the end it does give comfort to know you shared all that time with each other up to the end x
