My father, retired United Airlines Captain Bill Richards, flew West today, following a Dolphins song. He was an absolutely great Dad, teaching me to fly when I was a mere Gossan. I'll miss him terribly though I won't grieve. That's finished already.
So many have lost people we love. But as Dawn says in the novel... "They're here. Right here."
Just as Dad is for me. He took off, heading West, and has already landed. As the pilot's poem High Flight says so well, on the way he reached up and touched the face of God.
