-Tribute To My Father- Unconditional Love-

June 23, 2026

Today, I write in remembrance of my father. He passed away June 22,2026 at 3:05pm in Indianapolis, Indiana. We had our ups and downs just like any relationship. I chose to forgive him from my childhood. It brought so many more memories. He taught me so much from choosing sobriety, and stopping smoking. Plus in having the strong sense of independence and being self taught. I always encouraged him in his many abilities.

The only thing which was holding back was himself. The environment he was in growing up was challenging when he had to raise himself up after being kicked out of school for not being able to learn in the way the school wanted him to.

I can’t let past mistakes of myself and others to hold me back. What is done is done. There is nothing which can be done to change the past. All I can do is make the most of what and where I am now. I appreciate my father for teaching me so many things over the decades.

It doesn’t feel real with him being no longer living however he will always be with me in spirit and he knows how much he means to me. I told him no amount of money can replace him. The unconditional love and showing up when no one else would is priceless. I told him, If I could heal you now I would so we could walk out of this hospice and never look back.

After he was unable to walk I know time was getting shorter even though I didn’t want him to pass away. Towards the end, I wanted him to forgive everyone he could before he passed away and to listen to peaceful music so he could leave on the right terms.
