Right Bobby,
So create the family you would have liked.
And then talk to them.
Make it the way you like. Let the father, your father be gone,
but talk to him in heaven. And let him know you miss him.
Remember that when they are gone all the problems they
had, like his drinking should be gone too.
Now if this isn't what you believe then, go with what you believe
afterlife is.
I would make up a couple of nieces or nephews that are with
your brothers too. That maybe come and visit you and call.
They could also be the ones that call and talk to you.
Give the kitties and dogs names. And maybe even adopt
them and make them stuffed ones to enjoy.
