It is with a heavy heart that I had to see my father today. His health has taken a turn for the worse,yet he smiles through the strife.
Spoke about losing him and he said that he had some good adventures and that God's blessed him with a good life, and sad I shouldn't be.
So I cried. A lot... Still weeping tho..
Anywho, things I will remember when he leaves me ( after he passes, I am officially an orphan...)
A) never had an emotional screaming fight with dad, always logical approaches to the difference in opinion. Many times we agreed to disagree.
Dad's philosophy to something that is stuck- honey if it went in it can be taken.out. THINK woman Think
C) he went on adventures, literally, went Kruger rand digging with friends for many years. Got shot at and had many scary moments ( oh to listen to those! )
D) the immense conviction in his faith. Logical solutions to questions asked by so many who don't believe, he never got angry, always thought about what they say.
E) his dedication to what he did/does. 'if u do it, do it good, give it ur best '
F) all you have in this.life is your 'name'.
Conduct yourself with honour.
G) never say it is impossible, say it is a challenge and might be difficult, and think the he'll out of it..but don't give up.
I will miss your voice.old.man. Your wisdom, your simple and strong faith, your thankfulness, your humility, your practical approach, your ethics and your stare Into space without speaking.
I hope you are proud of who I am. I would honour you this way so that your memory may surf the Web, I am proud to say u are my Dad. You were 68 when u got a cellphone and u taught urself to sms... You rock!
God and all his angels will be blessed to have u. You and Mom can now echo.into history together..
Love u
Forever and a day. U made me who I am.
