We lost our world the day my father died. The last 5 years he was alive was probably the happiest he had ever been. He was an amazing father, husband and an even more incredible PaPa to my children and Pa to his other grandchildren. His eyes lit up every time one of his grandchildren entered the room. He took great pride in his family and loved my mother whole heartedly. He made sure those around him never wanted for anything even if it meant he went without. He was hardworking and instilled great values in our family that I hope we can carry on and make him proud. His sudden death from an aortic dissection left an emptiness in our hearts that I’m not quite sure will ever heal. However, my father’s tissue donation produced 33 gifts to those in need. I couldn’t be more proud to be part of this community where my father lives on and I can share his legacy.
