Dedication
To my father —
You were not a man of words, but I always felt your love.
You gave everything and asked for nothing.
Even in your last days, you chose to protect me from pain,
though you were facing your own.
You lived simply, worked tirelessly, and bore life’s weight in silence.
You didn’t try to be perfect — and you didn’t need to be.
You were my dad.
And I miss you more than I can ever say.
