I cannot express my thanks and gratitude. I will miss him. But I know he is living peacefully in the hands of God. His faith never waivered. Something I will take with me for the rest of my life.

In the years he became ill, I was lucky that I was able to spend as much time as I could. If you can do anything- spend time with your loved ones, whether on zoom or in person. Never hang up the phone on someone EVER. And also always express love and kindness in your ways. Cherish your moments. That's how I was raised. Nothing will ever take away my pain- But I'm glad my Dad is happy in heaven. It's a great feeling to know that. I'll make mistakes, but I will carry myself as the person he knew I would be. I love you dad
