Eulogy For Father

Decent Essays
Growing up with my dad being in the military was hard, we would spend a lot of time apart. He would fly overseas and or have an important business meeting or have something happening where he wasn’t at home. Sometimes he was not even allowed to contact us or even tell us where he was. It was very hard for me to understand why he was going or why he had to do certain things when I was younger. So let me tell you why this involves one of my favorite songs and my dad’s.
Fly me to the Moon by Frank Sinatrais a beautiful song about being in love with someone. This song is one of my dad’s all-time favorite songs, and since I’m my father’s daughter and I’m a daddy’s girl I also love this song. On my dad’s last year in the military he spent almost

    To be torn from your family and friends is to extinguish an aspect of life that is vital the development of your character. To have a bond with someone you love be so strong, then ripped mercilessly out of your reach is to destroy your livelihood. To have someone who is cherished so deeply, be just out of your reach, and the thought of finally seeing that loved one once more taunts you day after day, night after night. From the cherry blossom trees of Okinawa, Japan, to the ruins of Pompeii, I have seen the world, made relationships, and lost loved ones. The life of a military child is one with much strife, but this hardship has made me the determined individual that I am today.…

I never knew God for myself at that time.…

    The morning of Saturday November 1st, 2014, I woke up to three hundred text messages and twitter notifications all notifying me that my friend, Dominik Pettey, was killed in a car crash by a drunk driver the previous night. No pain had ever felt so significant, it was crippling, but then instead of pain, I was numbed by the inability to grasp that my friend someone who I just had seen the night before, was gone. I ran the words “Dom is dead” through my head on a loop but could not bring myself to accept it. That week, although I was still here, facing such a tragedy, everything on earth seemed so insignificant, going to class, homework, midterms, everything. I woke up every morning wishing it was just in a bad dream and that noise would never cease because that is when it hit me the most, silence, when I didn't hear Dom’s infectious laugh or when he wasn't telling me that, “I am Kiera Wainer and deserve the best God can give”, which he used to say anytime I was upset, the first time he said those words was the second worst day of my entire life, it was the day my dad left for his new family.…

    Eulogy It never occurred to me that I would be up here so soon, talking about my Grandmother, Joyce White instead of celebrating her birthday with her and talking about the good old times when I was a little girl. I remembered my Grandmother as a beautiful lady with long black dark hair, rosy cheeks and red lips. She was not your typical grandma who baked cookies, stay in the house all day and knit sweaters, she was a woman who enjoyed life to its fullest. I used to remember when I was a little girl, I would love when my grandma comb my hair, she would plait my hair and when she is done, I would say to her, “Mama do not forget to fix my baby hair at the front with the brush,” she would smile and say “yes Kay, I did not forget.” She was a…

    Everyone has a past that tells their own stories. Whether they are good or bad, people still wish they could change one thing to make their personal histories better. For me, losing my father at a young age caused my past of growing up as a child extremely difficult. Although, the actions of my past guided me to a delightful and an appreciative life I have now. Yet, I still wonder what my life would be like if I could go back and change one thing.…
