Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult things we can go through, so
much more if it is a parent. No words can express what I am feeling right now
and I’m sure only time can help me accept the fact.
My father was one of those hard working fathers that always got his way. His
words were the law in our house. I used to fear him but I never thought he was
already teaching me one of the most valuable lessons in life, standing up for
what you believe in. Don’t let anybody tell you otherwise. As I grew older, I
slowly understood why he treated us like that. And I also discovered that he was
a very compassionate and kind person. I learned that the most important thing
that he had was us, his family. Though he may never have said it out loud I know
that he was really proud of what we have become. We are who we are now because
we had a father like him. As most of you may know my father never showed his
feelings. You would only see that look that told you that you did something
great, and seeing him like that made you feel like you owned the world.
I remember when we were little our father found time to build us the most
beautiful tree house. He spent almost a month to finish it. And I remember he
always brought something for us when he came home from work. He was very strict
as a father but that’s only because he cared for us. To his friends he was a
very kind person and was always ready to help. He always had a solution to every
problem and had his ways of making things simple. He never asked anybody for
help but he was a very generous man, and he never wanted to be acknowledged for
anything he did. When he helped he simply helped.
He showed strength until the end and still had some enlightening words for us. I
promise that I will continue what my father has started. I know I’ll be filling
huge shoes but with your help I think I can do it. Let’s just remember
everything that my father shared with us. And let’s be happy that he has finally
gone home to our creator.
