ALWAYS WITH ME Wendy and Max
Dad, it has been 7 years today that you are not here. And yes, just like you said; how there wasn’t a day that went by that you didn’t miss your own father. Well, that is exactly how I feel 7 years later, about miss- ing you. Every day I think of you. Sometimes with tears. But, mostly with joy in my heart for all the wonderful things you have taught me. Dad, six months after you passed away I remember going to see Dr. Munuswamy. I told him my heart truly hurt and ached with pain. I was so concerned but, he told me “Wendy, what you are feeling is a broken heart.” Time went on and I had to be strong for my own family. I realized you had given me a gift when we said our goodbyes, which I was lucky enough to do. You told me, “Don’t ever feel sorry for me, I lived a good life”. Those words have helped me through this plight of missing you so much. You are my role model for everything I do in life.
Dad, you passed on advice and wisdom to me, which rings ever truer as the years go by. When faced with choosing whether or not to make difficult and painful decisions, you said, “Face It.” On being optimistic in the face of negative fortunes and situations, you said, “This too shall pass.” When I was worried about whether I mea- sured up in business, you said, “Be Yourself.” If we lost out on winning a sale, you said with a smile, “Next.” When I asked how to run my part of the business without you, you said, “Concentrate on the Relationships.” If there was a question about how to handle a problem with the kids, you said, “Just love them.” Easy words to say, but hard to follow. Your courage, optimism, and well-meaning kindness is the common thread that runs through all these sayings. I love you with all my heart!
