Eulogy

This eulogy is written in commemoration of Elie's father, may he rest in peace.
     Losing my father was one of the most challenging things to overcome. He meant everything to me, he was the world to me. I can not express how much gratitude I have towards the Lord for he has given me the strenght to accept his lost.
     My father was hard working and never gave up for who he was and wanted to become. He supported my family all the time, never failed to do so. At first I felt like he didn't much care of what i wanted to pursue in my life. Although I did learn alot from  his actions I  figured that I expected more of him at the time. once we were invaded during the holocaust, never had I seen him express himself in such a kindly and emotional manner. I soon came to realize I was worth everything to him. The only thing that kept him going through that tragedy was his son, me. He will take any pain but will never give up only to guide me to the end. His strenght will feed on what he loved the most. But now he has made it to the end, and is in a better place. I will never forget him and what he has made of my life. I will continue what he has taught me.
