Losing our dad is a profound loss that words cannot express. As we honor and remember him, we celebrate a life lived with integrity, love, and purpose. He was a guiding light, a source of strength, and a pillar of support to all who knew him.

“In my arms you lie,

As time whispers it’s time to say goodbye.

Your gentle last breath, a fleeting sigh,

As tears gather, I can’t deny.

Memories flood, a pouring stream,

Of laughter, love, and cherished dreams.

In this moment, a bittersweet scene,

As I hold you close, my heart serene.

Your hand in mine, a final embrace,

Each moment etched in time and space.

Tough words may falter, love leaves its trace,

In the silence, we find solace, our saving grace.

As you slip away, into the unknown,

Know that you will never be alone,

In my heart and mind, you will forever be,

A part of me, for eternity.”
