The following was written by our daughter: a tribute to her Dad. It is tender and powerful and demonstrates the profound influence to be found in family relationships. We all carry pieces of our parents and grandparents. Too often, the human imperfections become the focus, and we miss seeing the ‘divine’ . Perhaps we are too fearful of what we perceive others might expect of us, and we blindly close our minds and eyes to the flecks of gold found in each of us. Or we simply never find the time appropriate to be still and open up our hearts, and become vulnerable enough to step into someone’s soul and have a sacred unforgettable experience.
That is a great compliment to have a daughter tell you, “I can always tread deep waters with you.”
