Post - Last week, on Father's Day, my dad Frank Mx passed away. My siblings and I tried to joke that he had a real sick sense of humor, or perhaps wanted a poetic death....nonetheless he fought so hard to be with us as long as he could. This past week my soul has been filled with all the love people have for him. My dad made a positive impact and help so many people. He was a beautiful human being.
We love you dad, rest in peace.
