I think most definitely. My father passed away when I was 16 and I have never had another person truly understand me and have the conversations my dad and I had about views, life, ourself, one another. Even as a small child we just always connected in a deeper level. Nothing weird so please don’t think anything of that sort. But the amount i learned from how we learned from each other and accepted each other has taught me so much and I agree with you if I could choose one person to spend eternity I think it would be my father. Kindest,most accepting soul I have ever met.
