When an old man dies.. .

I've been thinking a lot about the quote, "When an old man dies, it's like burning a library." As my father approaches the end of his life, I realize that he is a library about to burn. Or did it smolder away in recent years? (Alzheimers is like that.) He was always to me the man who knew everything. It was a sad day when I realized I couldn't ask him any more. That was a while ago. May I not be guilty of the accusation that I kept the important things to myself.
