Thanks guys. My relationship with my dad wasn't always the best, but over the past few years we had grown closer. My coming out last year did kind of set things back a little, but he and I had worked our differences out before he passed away. I think some if not a lot of it is that he was the only one in my "birth" family that didn't badger me about my sexuality. He may not of liked it, but at least he and I could talk face to face without it coming up or making things awkward between us. Fortunately, I have found a new "family" (close friends and you guys as well) that accepts me for who I am.
