My Father's Passing

Dated 5/22/08

Dear Friends,
My father passed away last night. Quietly he took his final breath and left this world. No tears came to my eyes. I wondered why and I realized because no one has ever lived a life as rewarding as his. He had the most loving and supporting wife, he had wonderful friends in every corner of the world, and even though he never outwardly displayed it, he had a spirituality that was rooted in joy and love for everyone around him, which I’m certain prepared him for the world he’s entered now.
I cry now, for myself, for my mom, for my brother, and for all those lives he touched and who now are faced with the realization that they must go on never being able to physically be in his presence again.
I assure you all his spirit lives on and his wishes would be that the least number of tears be shed because of him.

I love you all very much,


Payam Parvinchiha
