What I thought was going to be the great beginning of a new year turned out very differently. My Dad suddenly and unexpectedly past away in the beginning of January and nothing has been the same since. I miss him so much and every day I hope to wake up finding out it was all just a bad dream. But it´s not, it´s the heartbreaking truth and now we have to take it from there. Luckily I have an amazing family and friends and so we go through this together. And furthermore, I did have the best father one could wish for and I know for sure he would not want me to sit around being sad. He would want me to live my life to the fullest and I know he will be by my side every step of the way. He was so supportive, proud and present and I´m grateful for every single moment I got to spend with him. After years of fighting Parkinson´s disease and even winning over cancer – the struggle finally got too hard. But not once did he complain. He was the most positive man I have ever met, always looking forward to the future meanwhile enjoying every single moment of the present. I will try to keep learning from those qualities. And forever and always keep him in my heart. I love you, Dad ❤️
