So touching...there is something about losing one's father that makes one become a man quick. Though your father's loss happened when you were way younger, mine was after my first year in the university. It is like his loss gave me strength, I was a quitter before his death maybe it was because I felt someone else was in charge and not me. Its even a thing to rejoice when your parent left good memories like your father did. Its a lifetime gift, believe me. May his loss and the wonderful memories he left spur you to do exploits.
Amen
