I miss dad every day. He taught me so many things—not just how to do practical things, but important life lessons that have shaped who I am. He showed me how to be resilient, kind, and curious about the world.

When I was frustrated and wanted to give up. But my dad stayed by my side, encouraging me not to quit. He ran alongside me until I found my balance, and when I finally did, the look of pride in his eyes made me feel like I could do anything. 

I miss him terribly, but his lessons are always with me, guiding me every step of the way.
