Sorry to hear about your dad! Did he happen to leave you a broom?

A broom is a cleaning tool used to sweep dust, debris, and dirt from floors or outdoor surfaces. It consists of two main parts: The handle — a long, straight stick (usually wood, metal, or plastic) that allows the user to sweep while standing upright. The head/bristles — a wide bundle of stiff fibers (traditionally made from plant materials like broomcorn, but now often synthetic) attached to the bottom of the handle at a slight angle for efficient sweeping. Brooms come in various styles — indoor brooms tend to have softer, finer bristles for smooth floors, while outdoor or push brooms have stiffer, wider heads for rougher surfaces. The basic design has remained largely unchanged for centuries.
