Dad,

Two years have passed, yet time has not learned how to exist without you.
The world still feels slightly quieter, slightly dimmer, as though a light that guided me was switched off without warning. In one unbearable moment I lost my father, my protector, my teacher, and my best friend — the man who knew my heart before I spoke and loved me before I knew how to love myself.

The day your heart stopped beating was the day mine changed forever. It did not stop, but it broke — and it has carried that crack through every sunrise and every night since. I feel you in the silence, in the spaces between words, in the lessons you left behind, in the strength I borrow when I have none of my own.

You are not only someone I miss — you are someone I still live with.
In my thoughts.
In my decisions.
In the way I try to be kind when the world is not.
In the way I stand up when I want to fall.
You are the voice that tells me to keep going.

I speak about you as if you are still here, because in every way that matters, you are. Love does not understand death. Love does not accept endings. It simply changes form and becomes memory, becomes presence, becomes the invisible hand on my shoulder when I need you most.

I miss your voice.
I miss your guidance.
I miss the safety of knowing you were just a call away.
But more than anything, I miss being your child in a world where you were still in it.

If love alone could have kept you here, you would have lived forever.

Thank you for every sacrifice, every lesson, every moment of patience, every laugh, every hug, every time you believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. I am who I am because of you — and I will carry your name, your values, and your love forward for the rest of my life.

Until the day I see you again,
I will live in a way that makes you proud.
I will speak your name.
I will keep you alive in every heartbeat I have left.
We will continue to shine our kights bright

Your children always.
Your bubela Billy, Shali and Tori
