Well today is the 2nd anniversary of that horrible day

I'm sure you are all sick of reading about it (if you read my posts) so hopefully this will be the last one for awhile. (no promises though!) My dad had a horrible accident in the ocean 2 years ago yesterday. After being resuscitated and taken to the local hospital he was transferred to a shock/trauma ICU overnight. The next day, September 4 2023, was very difficult. I won't bore you yet again with the details but ultimately we learned that he was never going to recover so life support was removed. He was surrounded by family and friends and lots of love and tears. Today I posted this picture of him on Facebook. He was scuba diving in Cozumel and was next to a sea turtle. He took his regulator out so the divemaster could take a picture of him smiling with the turtle. That was just so him. Happiest guy on the planet. I put a clip of Jimmy Buffett's song "Bubbles Up" to it because the term refers to scuba diving, my dad loved JB, and JB passed just a few days before my dad did that very same weekend. I sent a screen shot of the post to my ex and wrote "smiling even underwater!" He replied "that's all he did". I didn't text anyone else about today's anniversary though--not my mother, sister, cousin, uncle, etc. I'm sure everyone's heart is hurting so no need to get them going even more. Bubbles Up Dad! We all miss you! If you have a couple of minutes listen (or try) to listen to the song. It is beautiful. It is considered Buffett's farewell to his fans as he knew he was dying from cancer when he recorded it.
