Hi Dad,

For many years after you left,

I felt the pain and burden of

all the things that were left unsaid.

I had like a thousand questions to ask you

and a thousand reasons not to.

Through your life struggles and illness

you had shown me what truly matters in this world.

But today, I’ll remember you in the happiest way.

Thoughts of you make me smile,

knowing you are now free and

and resting peacefully in heaven.

“Happy 88th birthday, Dad!

May the angels sing joyously to you today.”
