Some people say when we lose someone we love, they become angels watching over us.
I don’t know exactly how Heaven works. But I do know this — if anyone deserves wings, it’s my dad.
He was the kind of man who spent his life caring for others. He protected his family, worked hard every day, and carried burdens quietly so the people he loved wouldn’t have to.
Fathers often do that. They carry more than we ever realize.
When he left this world, it felt like a piece of my heart went with him. The house felt quieter. The world felt a little less steady.
But over time, I’ve come to believe that love doesn’t end when a life does.
Somewhere beyond the clouds and beyond the years, I believe my dad still exists in a place of peace. A place where pain is gone and the soul finally rests.
And though I can’t see him anymore, I still feel his presence.
In the values he passed down.
In the strength he gave me.
In the love that continues to live inside my heart.
So yes… I have an angel in Heaven.
And I call him Dad.
