Dear Dad,
It's been a few days since you left this world, when you were right beside me. The memories of our times together are still fresh in my mind, and I cherish them even more now that you're no longer with us.
You were not only my father but also my best friend. I could confide in you and share anything with you without fear of being judged. You listened to me and encouraged me every step of the way. You taught me so much about life, love, and perseverance that no book could ever contain.
You were a man who lived a life of honor and integrity. Everyone who knew you loved you because you were kind, respectful, and always had a smile on your face. You never raised your voice or hurt anyone, and that came effortlessly. You were a hardworking man who dedicated everything he had to ensuring that his family was happy and comfortable. You lived for us, and we felt it every day.
Your devotion to mom and us, your children, was unwavering. Even in your last days, you fought to stay with us, to see your grandchildren grow up, and to continue being the backbone of our family. But your time had come, and we could not hold on to you any longer.
I am grateful for the memories we shared, and I will carry them with me forever. I will remember the laughter we shared, the bond we build, and the love we had for each other. Even though you're not here, I will continue to live my life in a way that honors you and the values you instilled in me.
I miss you, Dad, more than words can express, and every day, I wish I had just one more moment with you. But I know that you're in a better place, watching over us with love and pride.
Rest in peace, Dad. You will forever be missed.
Lovingly,
Your Son George
