Eulogy for FATHER
Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult things we can go through, so much more if it is a
parent. No words can express what I am feeling right now and I’m sure only time can help me
accept the fact.
My father was one of those hard working fathers that always got his way. His words were the
law in our house. I used to fear him but I never thought he was already teaching me one of the
most valuable lessons in life, standing up for what you believe in. Don’t let anybody tell you
otherwise. As I grew older, I slowly understood why he treated us like that. And I also
discovered that he was a very compassionate and kind person. I learned that the most important
thing that he had was us, his family. Though he may never have said it out loud I know that he
was really proud of what we have become. We are who we are now because we had a father like
him. As most of you may know my father never showed his feelings. You would only see that
look that told you that you did something great, and seeing him like that made you feel like you
owned the world.
I remember when we were little our father found time to build us the most beautiful tree house.
He spent almost a month to finish it. And I remember he always brought something for us when
he came home from work. He was very strict as a father but that’s only because he cared for us.
To his friends he was a very kind person and was always ready to help. He always had a solution
to every problem and had his ways of making things simple. He never asked anybody for help
but he was a very generous man, and he never wanted to be acknowledged for anything he did.
When he helped he simply helped.
He showed strength until the end and still had some enlightening words for us. I promise that I
will continue what my father has started. I know I’ll be filling huge shoes but with your help I
think I can do it. Let’s just remember everything that my father shared with us. And let’s be
happy that he has finally gone home to our creator.
