Dad Shaped Hole

My Dad passed away early this morning. I was holding his hand and had just kissed his head and told him how much I loved him in a soft whisper. I'm not sure if he heard me, but right after that, he opened and closed his eyes twice (he hasn't been able to close his eyes in days), swallowed really hard about four times, and then his chest just wasn't rising anymore. I almost didn't realize he had gone, it was very peaceful. In a way I'm relieved, but my grief is greater. I will love you forever Dad and miss you deeply.
