If you could pick one person to be commemorated on a day dedicated to him/her alone, who would you choose?
My Dad! I would want to meet his soul in my next life, and lives thereafter. Â I think of him everyday. Â I honor him by emulating his zest for life.
A highly educated man, my Dad chose life’s offerings with great care. Â His generosity to others was vast and private. Â He loved all people. Â He said, “Same God made us all.”
He carried with himself a cuddly bear personality, giving away warm smiles and hearty laughs. Sharing jokes and stories.
My Dad was born with a gentle soul. Â I love him a lot. Â I hugged him a lot. Â His hugs made me feel safe and strong.
I can hear him. Â I can hear him clearing his throat and telling me to be patient and to hang in there, that things will work out, as long as I keep working on things, the best way that I can.
It’s been a great privilege and honor to know and love my Dad. Â A humble man, and a man of integrity. Â I miss him greatly. Â I also know that he is with me always, guiding me and protecting me.
My Dad passed on August 26, 2012, on  my wedding anniversary.  I know one thing for sure, Someone Up There is happier because my Dad is there😊.  I love you Daddy!
