Dear Dad,
How my heart is breaking and tears they flow !
I find myself overwhelmed with grief but also gratitude for having you in my life. I often think about how much you’ve shaped the person I’ve become, and I’m struck by the depth of your love, strength, and kindness.
Dad, you’ve been my rock, my mentor, and my hero. From my earliest memories, you’ve been there, guiding me with your wisdom, lifting me up when I’ve fallen, and cheering me on in everything I’ve pursued. Your belief in me has been unwavering, even when I’ve doubted myself. You’ve shown me what it means to live with integrity, to work hard for what you believe in, and to care deeply for the people around you.
I remember the countless times you put your own needs aside to make sure I had everything I needed, even when I didn’t realise it. The late nights, the early mornings, the sacrifices you made—all for me and our family. I see it now, and it humbles me. I can’t begin to express how much it means to me to know that I’ve always had your love and support, no matter what.
There’s a special kind of comfort that comes from knowing you’re always there for me, Dad. Whether it was a tough day at school, a difficult decision, or just needing someone to talk to, you’ve always made time for me. You’ve taught me to be strong, but also that it’s okay to lean on others when I need to. You’ve shown me the importance of kindness and generosity, not just through words, but through the way you live your life every day.
As I’ve grown older, I’ve come to appreciate the depth of your wisdom and the quiet strength you carry with you. You’ve faced challenges and hardships with such grace, and I’m constantly in awe of how you manage to keep going, no matter what life throws your way. Your resilience inspires me to be better, to try harder, and to never give up.
I want you to know how deeply I love you and how profoundly grateful I am to be your daughter. You’ve given me the greatest gift anyone could ever receive—a father’s unconditional love. It’s a gift that has shaped my life in more ways than I can count, and one that I carry with me always.
Thank you, Dad, for everything—for the lessons, the love, the laughter, and the life you’ve given me. I hope you know that today and every day, you are cherished more than words can say.
You fought hard till the end and I’m so super proud of you .
