Throughout our lives you were our one and only mentor, the one and only person we went to for advice towards the correct path to success. You have steered our family through moments of extreme happiness, as well as moments of extreme grief. Your love, your support, your advice, your very presence has inspired us – your children – in every aspect of our lives.
We have always looked at you as a role model, and continue to look at you the same exact way every day. We look at you as a symbol of family unity, as a symbol of the battle you took upon your shoulders against life and all the hardships that have come upon you and us as a family.
Your eldest son, one of your biggest admirers, begs you never to change. Never change our outlook towards you, and never go against everything you have stood for throughout your entire life. We still need the role model we see in you. We still need that person we turn to for hope and inspiration. We still need our father and his very presence.
