Dear Readers:
Without delving into too much detail (my father was quite a private man and would not want it) I unfortunately lost my father earlier this week after his battle with a horrible disease. I am grateful that he is no longer suffering.
My father was a huge advocate of being a self-less, quiet, hard worker. He was the yes man, the go-to-person for everyone in his social circle and family. He never wanted the awards, the acclamation, the publicity. He was an important man beyond the results of a Google search. One of the things, he constantly told me was to be less public and more private and humble in my work.
To honour his memory, I will take a two week break from social media – including this blog, my disabled Twitter and Facebook accounts. I know these are tools of my trade and it may lead to a few less readers/referrals in the interim but it is my way to honour the man.
I ask all of you to stay patient and spend the extra time you would have spent reading my writing to spend time with an aging, sick family friend or loved one.
Dad: I will make you proud. You are the reason I am here, you are my driving force. I apologize for not spending enough time with you in the last few years. But no regrets, I will carry on your legacy of hard work and perseverance.
With love,
Will
