Dad, a year has passed without seeing your smile or hearing the warmth of your voice, and the emptiness it leaves is still so profound.

Witnessing my father’s decline took a such large emotional toll, not only on me but our entire family, the man who had always been our rock was being quickly consume by cancer. I feel honored you trusted me to be with you for appointments, hospital stays, staying at my home, and even becoming your hospice. Even though my was heart being shattered, I wouldn't trade a single moment. I will always cherish the time we had together.

I remember your strength in the face of adversity, your courage and how bravely you fought against cancer. You still inspire me. All the lessons you taught me continue to guide me every day. Your spirit lives on in the laughter we shared, the stories we told, and the love you instilled in me and all of us. We will always carry your legacy with pride. Even if everyday is less bright without you here. I love and miss you so much Dad
