In a moment of stillness, memories are all we have left when someone we love passes away.
This photo was captured by Google Maps in 2014, showing my dad spending one of his many days at the business playing the Qeej.
Yesterday, a customer named Tony stopped by and spoke so fondly of my dad and the music he played. Hearing these stories reminds me of the lasting impact he had on so many lives.
It is always comforting to hear how much he meant to others and how his kindness, humility, and music touched the hearts of so many people.
Dad, you are truly missed every day. In your honor, I will continue to live by the values you taught me—to be humble, be kind, love others, and allow myself to be loved. ❤️
