My father died on February 9, 2016 at the age of 91, a little over a month after being diagnosed with brain stroke and lungs infection.
As I was thinking about writing a tribute to my Dad I thought -- How can I say a few words that do justice to all of the years of love and strength that Dad gave us? I hope that the real tribute to Dad will be the actions of my (our) lives -- that we are a testament to the love and lessons that he instilled in us all! HOWEVER WITH GREAT RESPECT AND LOVE , I am writing this as my tribute to him.
Before I tell a story about my Dad I wanted to relate to you a bit about the strength behind my Dad – my Mom. As a son I never realized the dedicated love that she had for my father – we always knew the love she had for us by all of the selfless things she did for us without ever fussing or even letting us know what she was doing – but we did Mom – and that love was always there! . What I just realized this past week during my Dad’s stay at the hospital was that same dedicated love for my father that I never saw – but knew was always there. To see my Mom care for my Dad this last week – from the gentle cleaning of his face, to the constant adjusting of his bed sheets (and sometimes MANY layers of blankets), to the up and down and back and forth to the bathroom, was to see that love demonstrated in action. That made me realize the quiet, selfless, caring loving way of affection that my Mom had for my Dad that I never really knew or appreciated – THANKS MOM!! – but this story is about my Dad so ...
I CERTAINLY HAD A GREAT DAD.
When you’re young, every little boy thinks his dad can do anything. But, as I got older I realized that in my dad’s case it was true. We had much age difference close to 60 years. He was one of the most talented and respected men I’ve ever known.
The Lord gifted him with a mind that could figure things out and I never knew him apply himself to a problem or something that needed fixing or something he wanted to build where he didn’t figure it out.
He never compromised to deliver strength and support in terms of our education. I and my siblings were put to one of the very best schools in town which has been baseline support for all to come to this position. His leadership quality was praised all the time and people followed his recommendations and decisions.
HE MADE MANY MEN A MAN.
My dad was a very helpful character. His help and support made many people achieve goal in life. He held hands of helpless people supported them and taught them to function who now are one of the finest businessmen.
The afternoon before he died, I was able to sit by his bed and hold his hands that were going to be cold. I don’t know if he was able to hear me but my prayer is that he was comforted by the words he knew so well.
I told him....
You taught us to be strong and resilient.... My mother, brother, sister and I are going to be okay when you are no longer with us. There is nothing to worry DAD ... please stay peaceful........ because now I am gonna follow you to be another great Dad and wont let your story end.
THIS IS MY BEGINING.......
