What kind of memories will you leave for your loved ones?
Your loved ones will not remember what you said but rather remember what you did. As it is said that: With words, you can only preach, with action you teach.
Today marks two years since I lost my Dad. Actually, it was not a loss. He was always a gain; still remains so, and will continue to be forevermore.
He was a man of few words who taught through action, not words. He was confident and strong, yet humble and gentle. He never missed a moment to say a kind word; provide positive feedback or notice something good.
He always found it a joy and a blessing to get the opportunity to contribute his time and efforts to his community and society at large. He had very little need for recognition; fame or credit. For him, making a positive impact was the biggest reward.
He was insightful and wise; an effective leader in the community; a family man, and a sound businessman. For my Dad, his greatest happiness came from making others happy! He was always a joy to be around.
I miss you, Dad. Thank you for your love and inspiration!
These are just some of the fond memories my father left me. Memories that inspire me every day to aim for being like him.
