It's 1am in San Diego, California and this has me all teary eyed. Loved the title, his sign off. Thank you for writing this eulogy and for sharing it with the world.

Love this Zoe. I lost my dad last year so it really spoke to me. Hope you’re well. Take care.

So sorry for your loss Zoe. This is just beautiful… I could feel the feelings and the warmth, it genuinely brought me to tears. What an incredible father. His presence touched every important part of your life. May he rest in peace 🤍

Condolences for your Dad, and so well written! On another note, enjoy Athens. I live here (Athens) and haven't been able to get tickets, but on the waiting list in hope!! Will miss your presentation - hope you write it up after. Lovely city - enjoy! Michael. Keep up the musings!!

Just finished reading this, teary eyed, missing my Dad who I lost 15 years ago. You’re right, they’re always around. I still feel him :)

Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece 🤍

So very beautiful. Your words ooze warmth and love - you are very generous to share them with us here. Your dad was clearly very proud of you, just as you are of him. What wonderful love. It's taken me a moment- because I wanted to pause and think as I read it. Love this and you. x

This is so beautiful thank you for sharing it Zoe. My dad passed away a few years ago and I think a dad is one of the hardest people to lose, especially for daughters. They are profoundly important to our sense of self. Our dads sound similar. My dad used to reply to every newsletter I wrote with his thoughts and told everyone about it. He was always so proud of me. What I would give to get one more email from him. My second son looks just like him and even though he didn’t get to meet him - my son is a beautiful daily reminder of my dad. Sending lots of love and so sorry for your loss. Your dad sounds like he was an amazing person. 💕

I dread the day that I lose my Dad. He just lost his best friend, Sam the lab who slept in his bed where my mother used to sleep. Beautiful eulogy Zoe. Dad’s are the best.
