Can we set up a TV with a Chromecast that will just rotate through a photo album of Dad? Videos will play on the backdrop (I think) if they are in the album. I don't know if anyone has an unused one or older model, but it would be easy to setup. He had an extra TV in his office I believe. We could put it somewhere obvious. Maybe having JUST pictures of him would be too much. Maybe a mixed album with a heavy leaning towards pictures with him in them.

Dad IS disappearing... I felt that about Lee in the months after he left. Not so much any more. Part of that, I think, is the passage of time... that as the new reality becomes "normal" the feeling of disappearing diminished and then it disappeared itself. I also work to keep the memories - and stories, and gratitude - alive.

Love the video idea!

Stories work well too - I've seen Mom's eyes light up at even a brief story about Dad - especially ones she hasn't heard, or hasn't heard from me - always a different take depending on the storyteller.

I think her feeling of "disappearing" will pass after a time. At some point I think she's likely to start feeling him close again :  )
