Hi Jennifer, Thank you for your very kind comments on this article of reflection about my father -- it meant a lot. Thanks! Maybe this is what an 'Afterlife' really is, ie living in a way that when you're gone people who knew you remember you and care enough to keep your memory alive, or as my friend and fellow writer Sean Murphy (Seanmurphy.net) wrote in his memoir dedicated to his mother after her death a few years ago: "Please Talk About Me When I'm Gone"
