He was deeply grateful and I was grateful that I could offer him the nail-cutting. I'll never forget it. I'm glad that you and your daddy, me and my Gigi (his name was Luigi, but everyone called him Gigi), and all the other families cutting the nails of elders are sharing this kind of experience.

I relive every extraordinary ordinary care-taking moment I experienced with my Mom and Dad as you describe so beautifully the gift of intimacy and devotion you experience with your Daddy. My tears well, my heart expands, and the remnants of grieving move out as my appreciation for those moments takes up more space within. You expression is truly emotive. So happy you are sharing it.
