Hi
I am younger son My name is hemal shah
Hello. As I stand here, I see
friends and relatives that have come great distances to be here for my Dad. I
am humbled and quite frankly impressed at how he must have touched your lives.
I can only speak for myself, but when I think of how he touched my life, the
first word that comes to mind is “admiration”.
I could stand here and list all the
ways I admire him…but well, a lot of you have flights to catch. But I would
like to share a few reasons why I admire my Dad. First and foremost was his
love and commitment for my Mother. And not just marital commitment. He was
committed to making her HAPPY. If it was important to her, it BECAME important
to him. They were happily married for 32 years, and during his last days, his
only concern was for Mom’s well-being, and not his own impending mortality.
I also admire him because of the
KIND of father he was to us (my brother and me). Yes, he loved us… very much.
But he also instilled in us a core value system that defined who HE was. And
that, was a man who kept promises. Honored commitment. He was a man of
integrity. Whenever we stumbled, he could have accepted our bitching &
moaning and advised us to take the easy way out and quit. But he’d have none of
THAT. He fully expected us to see things through, all the way to the end
without drama. “Do it. It just needs to be done.” he’d always say to me.
If you’re here today, and I thank
you for that that means that he touched your life in some way or another. That
means that you’d miss him in some way or another.
Yes, he will be missed
Friends will miss his coffee and
corny jokes and his company
His grandchildren will miss his
giddy-up rides and the comfy naps on his favorite recliner
My mother will miss having her best
friend by her side
I will miss my
father, the source of my convictions. I will miss my inspiration.
