FAREWELL, MY FATHER, MY MENTOR, MY TEACHER.
Dad, words are not enough to express how much you mean to me and how deeply your departure hurts. You were more than a father to us. You were a teacher, a mentor, a guide, and a man who gave us the foundation we need to stand firm in life and in God.
Thank you for loving us, raising us in the ways of God, and teaching us to know and honour Him. You didn't just tell us about God, you showed us what it meant to love Him and remain faithful to Him. Even until the end, you stood for the truth and held firmly to your faith.
Thank you for every lesson, every piece of advice, every correction, and every moment you took the time to guide me. Some of those corrections may not have been easy to receive at the time, but I understand their value now. You wanted to see me grow, become better, and walk in the right path. I will forever be grateful for the man you were and for the values you planted in me.
Daddy, your voice may be silent now, but your teachings will continue to speak through me. The seeds of faith, truth, discipline, and godliness you planted in us will not be forgotten. Your life has left a mark that death cannot erase.
My heart is broken, Dad, but I thank God for the gift of having you as my father. I thank Him for the years we shared, the love you gave us, and the legacy you leave behind.
Go well, my father. Go well, my mentor. Go well, my teacher and my guide. You have fought your fight, stood for what you believed, and remained faithful to the God you loved.
I pray that the Lord, whom you served and loved until the end, will receive you into His eternal rest.
I will miss you deeply, Daddy. Thank you for everything. I will carry your lessons in my heart and do my best to honour the legacy you have left behind.
Rest well, Dad, until we meet again.
“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.”
2 Timothy 4:7
