It is my greatest blessing to be able to stay by my 93-year-old dad’s side. At his age, every day feels like a gift, and the chance to sit with him, talk with him, or simply hold his hand carries a weight of love and gratitude that words can barely capture. Life has slowed down for him, and in that slowness, I have found a deeper rhythm—a quiet reminder of what truly matters. He no longer moves as swiftly as he once did, and his body bears the marks of time, yet his presence remains strong, steady, and grounding.
To stay by his side means more than just caregiving. It means honoring the man who gave me life, who shaped me with his wisdom, discipline, and love. It means bearing witness to his struggles with age and health, and at the same time, cherishing the moments of laughter, tenderness, and memory that still shine through. There are days that are heavy with worry and exhaustion, but even in those times, I find peace in knowing that I am where I am meant to be—beside him.
Sometimes, I catch myself reflecting on how many stories his eyes have seen, how many roads his hands have worked upon, and how many sacrifices he made for his family. Now, as the seasons of life turn, it is my turn to give back to him in the way he always gave to us—with patience, compassion, and unwavering love. Every moment spent together reminds me that love is not measured in grand gestures, but in the simple acts of being present, listening, and holding space for one another.
This journey with him is not without its challenges, but it is deeply sacred. To sit beside my dad, to care for him, to still hear his voice and see his smile at 93 years old—this is a blessing beyond measure. I carry each day like a treasure, knowing that someday I will look back and find comfort in the fact that I stayed by his side, right where my heart always told me to be. 🙏❤️
