Dad in need of Helping Hands

Dear Reader,

 

There once was a time when our emotions were not shown and our words didn't cut people like daggers. My Dad was born during that time in Soviet Union Russia. He worked 12 years as a Coal Miner and got Black Lung Disease. He moved to America to better his children's lives. When he came to the States he was welcomed with hardships of learning a new language and taking care of my mom who has Retinitis Pigmentosa, a rare disease of the eye which progressively degenerates a persons vision. He drove me to swim meets, taught me how to rebuild my first engine on a Honda Civic 1982 (4 door), and taught me to never give up on life. He suffered a stroke in 2018 after which the Neurologist explained he would die in 24-48 hours. He beat all odds and lived another 2 years in which he progressively lost health ; vision, edema, heart problems ( about 18% function), and kidney issues due to his diabetes. My father recently passed on November 19th 2021. He was my best friend and the kindest man with the toughest shell. Please find a moment to cherish those you love for time can be short. He is survived by his four children, 3 boys and one girl. He had eight grandchildren . We all miss him and want him to have the proper burial and bring him peace. May you be blessed for your donations and may your life be fuller for your love . Thank you for your time and consideration.
