When my step-father passed away, and I was working on a eulogy, one of my oldest friends mentioned Ulysses by Tennyson. The line "I am a part of all I have met" gave me so much comfort through the task (and years) ahead. Thank you for sharing the memories with us.

Thank you for sharing these moments of insight and grieving. I've found them rather soothing, in an oddly melancholy way.

I hope that you continue to find these epiphanies and acceptance comforting.
