No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear. - C.S. Lewis
06.1957-07.2025
Grief is strange, isn’t it? Your passing on 7/6 was so sudden, so unreal. Every now and then, I catch myself waiting for you to guide me, to tell me what to do, or just to say that everything will be okay. We were never especially close, yet suddenly, I needed you more than ever, dad. I see now that you gave everything you could with the knowledge you had and I never thanked you, you deserved more from me. It brings me comfort to know how deeply loved and respected you were by so many. On the rare occasions you told us you were proud, those words stayed with me. Today 7/28/2025, we laid you to rest, I hope the service we planned made you proud of us one last time. We’ll look after Mom—promise.
I love you, dad. I only wish I’d said it more when you were here. May peace surround you on this next part of your journey.
