My Dad once said, "Nature is Seldom Still."

He will forever be an enduring presence in my life. As a child, his home was not just a place but a cherished haven filled with endless love. The weekends spent at his house in the bogs held a special magic, becoming my some of my most treasured moments.

As life unfolded, I embraced the role of being my father's caregiver, witnessing the ebb and flow of changes in his personality and physical well-being. Amidst the challenges, our shared laughter remained a constant thread in every conversation and visit. Regardless of the circumstances, we found solace in each other's company.

The profound impact my Dad had on me is immeasurable, and I carry him within me with pride. Today, as I stand here as his daughter, I am filled with a deep sense of honor and love.

Dad, I miss you so much, and if only I had known our last phone call would be our farewell, I would have stayed longer, cherishing every precious moment. It breaks my heart that you are gone.
