It is with deep sadness that I share the passing of my beloved father. On January 5, at 8:33 PM, he took his final breath. He was not only a loving father but also a devoted husband who carried the memory of my mother in his heart every single day. We wished for more time with him, to keep him with us for many more years, but as the saying goes, "Heaven can wait"—though perhaps in this case, heaven could not. He is finally reunited with my mom, a reunion that brings us comfort amidst the sorrow.
