My darling girl! It is with great pride and joy to read this!! I’m truly in awe of your spirit and energy each and every moment!! I think that what she said to you about HIM ... “I would guess it’s the other way around —- that you’re the reason he stayed alive as long as he did.” .... is brilliant and something you should hold on to forever. It’s true! You were the sunshine in his dark world.

Forever Y#1F

I was around a lot with your dad. He loved you so much. I firmly believe that quote was very true. He had his demons, but you were his light. Great read.

Daaaaamn, you are such a great writer. Amazing piece, Jamie. I lost my dad a few years back - suicide due to years of severe depression. I often think about how we weren't enough for him to hang in there... but we were and are. As are you. Always and truly.

Dear Jamie. I loved your dad very much and miss him a lot. He loved you more than anything else in the world. I lit a candle for him and tears are streaming down my cheeks now. In my date book yesterday it says Robert Feldman passed 2000. Every year Bob Finkle and I talk about him and honor his memory. I just read a big portion of your post and thanks for the courage to post it. Your dad had a lot of courage too. Wishing you and your mom love, Kenny Rindler
