This year stretched me in ways I never imagined. Losing my dad six months ago left a hole I’m still learning to live with.
But in the middle of my grief, I found strength in the love of amazing friends who owe me nothing, yet have shown me so much care. I will forever be grateful.
This year taught me to fight for myself and hold tightly to the people who truly stand by me.
Wishing you all a peaceful end of the year and a grace-filled New Year. With love and prayers 🥰

I’m awestruck by your death.
It was a rare privilege to work side by side with you.
You were a perfect father to me and my brothers and sisters.
A perfect husband to your wives.
A perfect brothers both to those still with us and those gone ahead.
A perfect uncle.
A perfect granddad.
Gwasen will keep loving you, always.
As we commend you to the Lord, I find comfort in the words of the In Paradisum:
“May the angels lead you into paradise;
may the martyrs receive you at your coming,
and take you to the holy city of Jerusalem.
May choirs of angels welcome you,
and with Lazarus, who once was poor,
may you have eternal rest.”
