At my dad’s funeral people from all across the community shared stories of how he impacted their life. The commonality of each of them was “kindness.” I do not think there will ever be another person quite like my dad who showed you how much he cared through his acts of love and generosity.
The hardest day of my life was saying goodbye to my dad. For 45 years, I had the greatest dad there was. He was not the most cultured, and he was not the most educated, but he had a heart that he wore on his sleeve, and I was the recipient of so much of that love along with my children and everyone that he came in contact with.
Some people don’t believe in heroes, but they haven’t met my dad.
I know he and my mom are reunited again and I have the two best guardian angels there ever were…. Who both just happen to be donor heroes as well.
