Summary

A year ago, we gathered as a family around my dad's bed as he took his final breath. Last week, that same family gathered again. Mom, my five siblings, spouses, children, grandchildren…we all came together not at his house, but at his favorite place to vacation. Although we had more than two dozen family members on this trip, everywhere we went throughout the week it was also very clear we had something else: an empty chair. Let me explain.
