Our father finally found peace after a long struggle with dementia.


Dear Dad,

Thank you for everything you've given us. You taught me the value of hard work, adaptability, and tackling challenges from the top down. However, it became difficult when you developed dementia - how does one really cope with that?

I found your speeches from my 18th birthday. And WOW, you hit the nail on the head with me about the things you observed back then. Things that clearly influence my life today. The speeches brought me comfort because I know it was important for me to have your wisdom and words with me. So, even though we lost you to dementia, you were and still are with me in many ways.

Love you.
