A Tribute to my Dad

Daniel recounts his father’s abusive, impoverished childhood, engineering career travelling worldwide, marriage, and raising two children. After inheriting his father’s dilapidated home, Daniel’s father rebuilt it relentlessly, while family disagreements arose over construction-focused weekends. Early-detected prostate cancer remained controlled for years; a serious new event last week is referenced but intentionally left unexplained.

The tribute turns family history into guilt over emotional distance and a rejection of karma after tragedy.
