“I lost my father a couple of months ago. He was a man who instilled a lot of love in me. He always encouraged peace. I rarely speak about my personal life online, but I needed to put this out.
There’s this slogan going around that encourages bad energy. It promotes revenge and retaliation. But true strength lies in love, patience and wisdom – not retaliation.
I can no longer see you with my eyes or touch you with my hands, but I will feel you in my heart forever. Rest well, Dad. “
