Introduction This brochure is written in response to the emotional attachment a loving daughter had for her father. It is written because this doting daughter loved her father so much during his life, that she found mourning a place that seemed to be not only inevitable, but everlasting. This daughter was the youngest child in the family, but found little consolation for her grief in her older brothers. To her, there was no relief available for the loss of the man who she called “ D ad”. She saw him much like most soldiers saw him, a man with eagles on his shoulders that demanded them to salute with reverence. He was “Super Dad” to her, a man who caused her by his living and loving to extol him above all others. “He’s my dad” she mused; “how can my dad pass away and leave me cryin g incessantly?” Because this daughter, named Sharon, knew that this feeling caused by mourning was so severe, that only time would free her from it, she felt that she needed something, much like pillows and dolls that little girls cling to for security. She decided that she needed some words and pictures that would be constant reminders of her “Super Dad”. She needed something that would hold her within an arc of safety, so that she could move forward as “Super Dad” would have wanted. As you browse through this brochure, try to empathize with Sharon and find in your lifetime a peace of mind that comforts you.
