Father knew he might die that day, and he went anyway.

About This Quote

This quote is dedicated to my father. He knew he might die that day, and he went anyway. He was a great man who always stood up for what he believed in. He believed in right and wrong and would never do something that was wrong.

He cared for all people, even though he didn’t know them very well. He would go out of his way to help anyone who needed it. He loved his family and friends with all his heart.

Father died so young, leaving behind a wife, seven children, and grandchildren that are all still living today. He left us with the joy of being able to watch our children grow up into fine adults, all because of how much he loved us.
