Papa is navigating life’s challenges alone and facing uncertainty with courage as he steps into the unknown future. Remember that courage is not the absence of fear but the strength to face it head-on. You and your sister have already shown immense bravery, and I know you both will continue to do so with grace, my cherished children.
The unanswered questions and lingering uncertainty can weigh heavy on our hearts. It’s natural to long for answers and closure, but amid uncertainty, may we find solace in the love and memories that bind us together, Alexandra.
Our faith can be a beacon of light in the darkest times. Let it guide, strengthen, and remind you that you are never alone or forgotten. Believe in the power of hope and the resilience that lies within your heart.

My dearest Alexandra, your spirit shines brightly even in the darkest of times. May these words of strength and encouragement serve as a reminder of the love and unwavering support that surrounds you, no matter where you are.
