Tribute from Paa

 

 

I still find it very hard to believe that you are gone dad. I know you went to a better place but it still makes me sad because I won’t be seeing you for a long time. This whole experience has been unreal to me. In my mind you just travelled so I’m still waiting for you to show up. Words can’t express the emptiness that you left in my heart. I love you dearly dad and I miss you so much. I’d like to thank you for being the greatest dad and role model to me. I always admired the passion you attached to the work of God and life in general. You were a very passionate man who attached seriousness and dedication to every endeavor you undertook. I remember the last ride I took with you and mum on our way to visit Adelaide and her husband in Natick a few months ago. I enjoyed all the words of wisdom, encouragement and your life experiences you shared with me. You really motivated me to do greater things. One thing I learned from our conversation was that, with God and dedication all things are possible. I remember you telling me some of the challenges you faced in life and how you overcame those challenges with the help of God and perseverance. Dad I want to be everything positive that you were. I always admired the passion you attached to the work of God and how wherever you preached the word of God the Spirit of God filled and ”charged” the whole atmosphere. I want to be able to love and have faith in God as dearly as you did.

 

Dad I also want to say thank you for getting me my first car ever, which I still use and has been a great blessing to me. The same car we took on our last ride together with mum to visit Adelaide and husband. Tears fill my eyes as I write this, because little did I know at the time that that would be our last ride together and also that all the things you shared with me were you last words for me. I appreciate you dearly dad, because with this car I have been blessed in countless ways. As old as the car is it still runs amazingly well because it was great gift from a great man. Every time I drive the car I am so confident it will never break down. I refuse to buy a new car because it means more than just a car to me. I see it as a tool you gave me to go do greater things.

 

When I look at myself I see a lot of you in me. I see your beauty in me. I see your gift of music in me. I know there is a lot more of you in me that I hold back, but I pray with the help of God I can reach my full potential. Dad I’m so proud of you. You have set a very high standard. You have made greatness look normal, because you were beyond great. I can write a big book just to thank you because you have been a great blessing. I feel proud to be a part of your family. I love you dad. I hope I see you again. Rest in peace.
