Losing a father like him (my own was nothing like that) will leave a huge hole in your heart and soul, but one that can be almost filled by all of the wonderful experiences and memories you have with him. It seems to me that your father's love for the outdoors is alive and well in you. You'll always be able to find him there. Peace to you both. Susan Lisa,

My 86 year old dad has been the primary caregiver of my mom. But he fell and broke his arm. Dad has always been there for us (7 children)- he taught me how to ride a bike, took me on my first backpacking expedition, educated me, taught me how to pray and advised me on countless problems. Now we must be there for him. Anyway, make every day count. But not necessarily every packed with activities. I have visited many sick and dying people (I am a Catholic priest). The most important thing is your presence, support and love. The mountain peak may be dear, but not as dear as you at his side. God bless My prayers are with you.

I see it every time I ride. He too died of metastatic cancer and I miss him every day. You will survive but fortunately, so will your memories of your dad every time you climb that mountain. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Eldon and your extended family. I have an “I Ride for Robert Stanton Nichols” sticker on my bike. I see it every time I ride.

The only positive to this is that you have some time to share with him, although it sounds to me like he's done the work beforehand, building a lifetime of memories with you that you'll have forever. Well done, Dad. Good luck to you all. jt So very sorry, Lisa.
