crystal was standing up infront of everyone that ever knew her father, she didn't want to be up here reading out a speech for her father, she wanted to be at home watching a movie with him, she wanted him to make his favourite meal for the two, she didn't want to be alone, she didn't want to be doing this.
crystal already had tears falling out of her eyes, delilah was standing behind her, her hand slowly placed on crystals back, crystal took a deep breath in before reading out her speech.
"Good afternoon, everyone." crystal started, she hesitated a bit before turning to look at delilah who gave her a small encouraging nod, "my dad was an extremely compassionate man, he was always there for me and my sister, well as much as he could be." crystal says, her voice breaking a little.
"my dad was my hero, he may not have seemed as that to anyone else, but he was to me and that's all that mattered, he taught me things in life, things that no one else would, like how he taught me to ride a bike, how to cook, he even taught me a small bit of karate, and that was something that i would grow to love."
"There are so many memories I have with him that I'll carry with me for the rest of my life, there were nights he'd sit by my bed when I couldn't sleep, telling me stories or just sitting with me until I felt safe enough to close my eyes."
"it's hard to imagine life without him. but I know he would want me to be strong. he would want all of us to remember the good times, to smile at the memories, and to live in a way that remembers him, for the good things he's doneeveryone says thatthat it will getbetter, but right now it doesn't feel like that, and i don't know if it ever will." "dad, i miss you more than words can say, but i wat to thank you, thank you for everything, for your love, your wisdom. i love you." crystal had tears pooling out of her eyes, delilah reached round crystals shoulders pulling her into a comforting hug, crystal just melted into her touch.
