It’s been a while. I lost a special person, my dad. He is no longer in pain, physically and emotionally but my mom is now suffering. I hope she realizes that life is beautiful. Her children are surrounding her with love and patience. My dad needs to let her know she deserves to be here, in her dreams.

He was tough but he was always there. He was my mom’s lifelong partner. In his life, he was a son, a brother, a husband, a father, a father-in-law, a grandfather, an uncle, a friend, a provider, a challenger and a protector.
