My dad died very suddenly, and I know for certain that he would have preferred that to a long slow decline and the indignities of a nursing home. So I understand how it was a good day for your dad, even though it was awful for you and your mother. You have my sympathy and my love (and Dave's and Natalie's as well).
And I'm very glad you told off that asshat who told you to "cheer up and smile." It's not your job to decorate his world. Especially not today.
i'm so sorry. it hurts to be the ones left behind. and i know i felt pain at being left here, with the another gone on without me, for my own losses. but sudden and gone is what we all want, and it's not bad. and it still hurts. it will get easier, in time. lots of time. and right now it's crummy. i'm sorry.
I'm so very sorry to learn that you lost your father. May the very best memories that you have of him shelter you and bless you. Richard joins me in sending you our love and deepest sympathy.
I went through a remarkably similar experience this spring. Dads are supposed to be immortal...right up until they aren't. You have my deepest sympathies.
