This weekend landed a lot different than I’d anticipated. This world lost a great man, father & grandfather.
A letter to my dad, my rock & guiding star.
You deserved more time. I’m sorry your body couldn’t keep up with your heart, with your pace, with the way you were always giving so much of yourself to everyone else.
You gave me so many reasons to grow. You encouraged every dream, no matter how far-fetched. You were my safety net, my champion, and when I fell— too many times to count—I never hit the ground, you never tired of encouraging me to keep looking up.
You loved your family so deeply, you stayed as long as you could to enjoy the company. I know you worried about how we’d do without you. But we’ll be okay, Dad. Because you left us with so much strength. So much story. So much of you.
I hope you know how deeply you were loved. How appreciated you were. I hope you can see how much you meant to us, and how much we will miss you—every single day.
I just want you to be happy, Dad. So, so happy.
And I hope you know: we’ll carry you with us. Always.
