i don't really know what to say that might not ring hollow to you. i AM sorry for your loss - i lost my mother 25.5 years ago. decided not to see his next birthday or the new year? i grew up with my mother always saying she would never see 40. she was 39 years, 9 months and 10 days. not so close as your father, but maybe she REALLY needed to make sure. cancer is what got her. i was 18 and had only graduated high school a little over a month before. funny thing is, to this day mostly sometimes i feel anger toward her... (and dream not that she died, but that it was a ruse so she could start a new life without my siter and me.) sorry, didn't mean to talk about me. the feelings will come, and when they do don't be surprised if they may seem inappropriate. you may be lucky and feel only (yeh, ONLY) grief, but there may also be anger or anything else. they may hit at the funeral, or not until everything is done and you're home again. my thoughts are with you and your daughter...
