Dads are someone to look up to, someone to follow, someone to admire, someone to be proud of and someone to brag about, someone to hold and someone to cry with, someone to learn from and someone to respect, someone to listen to and someone to talk to, someone to try and impress, sometimes rebel against, and, someone, most of all, with whom to share everything this wonderful life has to offer. I loved my dad would be an understatement - and to say I’m going to miss him would be an even greater understatement.I cannot begin to imagine not having Dad on the end of a phone or popping around at a moment’s notice to assist, in his ever graceful manner, with any project great or small with which I happen to be needing advice or help. Dad was always there for everyone, family, neighbours, colleagues, or friends.
He always seemed to be able to draw upon boundless energy.He was a very clever man but was never afraid of having a laugh at his own expense. He could help you with a complex problems or anything you need it. Dad was hard working, compassionate towards everyone. He taught me many, many things but I think most importantly he gave us the ability to know that if you really put your mind to something, anything is possible, and never to be afraid to give anything a go. Despite these odd foot in the mouth moments or unfortunate slip ups Dad was incredibly practical and creative and I am so lucky that he passed on so much of his knowledge and skills to me.Nobody can be perfect but Dad was as close to being the most perfect Dad anyone could have.
Dad's love was unconditional and this is something I will cherish from his character – and take with me forever. His kindness and generosity will be remembered by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Life is eternal,
and love is immortal,
and death is only a horizon;
and a horizon is nothing
save the limit of our sight.
Thank you dad for everything
I love you dad
I'll see you later
