There was no one kinder in the world to me, no one more generous to me, than my dad. He was my hero, my idol, and my dad. I just received word of his passing. He has long battled dementia, heart disease, and kidney failure, and he succumbed to them peacefully and in his sleep a few days ago. I am so glad that he did not suffer in the end. He will be sorely missed. I've missed him for years already, of course, he hasn't been himself for a while now. I spoke to him on the phone on Christmas. It was the last time we would talk. I knew it might be. I told him I loved him so many times on that call. It wasn't enough. I wish I could have told him one more time.
I'm sure I'll talk more about him as I am able.
RIP, Robert F. Hignutt April 1933 to February 2021.
I will always miss you. Why must this world hurt so much?
