Eulogy for my father

Apr 12, 2013 22:28

I know I haven't posted here in a long time, but my father died very early on Wednesday morning, and we had the funeral for him today, and I just wanted to save the speech I gave at the funeral.

So here is my eulogy for my father, may he rest in peace.

Thank you! I really, really hope we are done with all this death. I don't think I could take any more. :(

Wand to do something sometime? I feel like I haven't seen you in a really long time, and it would kind of be nice to take my mind off things.

I emailed you, but then it occurred to me that I might not have the right address anymore. Has it really been that long since we talked?! That just feels wrong to me!

I hope you are OK after Monday's marathon bombing!

*hugs* Thank you! It has been an absolutely terrible year for us. I'm just hoping that it gets better from now on, because surely this can't go on! (*knock on wood*)

I feel like I haven't heard from you in a very long time! How have you been doing?

*hugs* Thank you so much. I was trying really hard to do my father justice, but it's just so difficult to put it into words!

So many condolences. Your father sounds like a treasure -- and what a gorgeous eulogy you wrote -- and I hope your memories of him are a comfort always. Wishing you and your family much peace.

(I've had the kind of year you're having before and, oof. It is unbelievably hard; you might look back some day and have no idea how you survived it; but you did and you will. Take care of you as much as you can right now.)

Thank you so much! I am just trying to take it one day at a time, for now, and I know the rest of my family feels the same.

Writing the eulogy actually did help, because I do believe that we live on through other people even after we pass away, and my father left a big mark on a lot of people. It's still really difficult, though. *sigh*
