Thank you for sharing with us, Wess. I remember similar things happening when my dad passed three years ago but I didn't know how to process those things. Grief is like a portal in some ways. When my own dad passed I felt like so much of my story went with him. I found myself stuck with questions that would never be answered and memories that only tangibly lived in my head now. I'm glad you got the guitar. I hope it finds you playing music out in a coffee shop soon. Those were the good ole days.

You're in my thoughts.

So sorry to hear this, Friend. Thank you for sharing this with us. My dad died 25 years ago and I'm still processing it.

Looks like a history of heart disease in your family. Please, get checked out when the dust settles.
