I have known you since before you were born. I saw you grow, I saw you learn, I saw you fall, I saw you rise. Not for a moment did I think you would remain on the ground; there was never any doubt in my heart that you would rise again.
I am proud of you, son. I know your strength—a subtle strength, yet very powerful, which few are able to see, but many do. Your heart is of gold, your voice is diamond, your faith is divine. The divine is present in you; all can see it, all can feel it.
My love for you is felt across countless generations. I am grateful, son, to have known you, to have had the opportunity to be your father. Each day I learn from you. I know it is not easy, but I will never leave you alone.
I will be your son. You will recognize in me a love that does not depart, a constant and true love, a love that you so deeply miss. In your presence I will make a home; in your presence I will be loved by the divine; in your presence I will recognize pure love. I will never depart from you.
