| My dad’s memorial was like none I’d ever witnessed. Most memorials have a somber, sacred quality, as family and friends gather to share their fondest memories and essentially saint the loved one who has passed.
Well, we did that.
And also… because of stories my brother chose to share first, my dad’s very human self was also celebrated.
My sister joined in: “He always wanted us to be safe and would go to great measures to ensure it. Even on my wedding day, as we were walking down the carpet laid over grass, he was holding me so tight, talking to me the whole way: ‘Watch out, I already walked this. There’s a hole here. There’s sand there. Don't slip in those heels. All I have to do is get you to your husband so you’re not my f***ing problem anymore!”
Everyone burst into laughter, undoubtedly remembering similar experiences with him.
“Unless you plugged a toilet,” she continued, “then you weren’t safe..." and she continued to tell a story that could only be topped by what happened the next day to show us that he really did have a point when it came to going above and beyond.
This one will make you giggle...HERE...and show you the power of going the extra mile.
Committed to Going Above and Beyond,
