My dad passed away on March 17th.
I was not able to say anything at the funeral because of the disbelief and shock. When I saw a lot of my family men in suits walking around at the funeral, it was so unbelievable and for a few seconds, my eyes were looking around the room to find my father. How could it be that he was not amongst us? He was right there, but not walking, resting with a smile on his face. In the new suit that he had just bought and gotten custom tailored, as if he knew. It felt like he would wake up any second.
I cannot believe it’s already been over two weeks without him.
I am not able to express in words the intensity of my sadness but if you were here dad, I would like you to know that you truly are my hero.
I love you dad and I really miss you.

thank you all.
Its been the saddest and most painful experience of my life and like Lyndon said above, nothing makes the pain go away – not yet anyway – but it does help to share it with you and hear the words of comfort. (most of you heard it via my email right after). I am spending all my days and sometimes nights at my mom’s so I might have missed replying to your messages/emails individually. But please know that my family and I are very grateful to you all for your support.
love
