To the Darroch Family, “Here you stand, at the crossroads of gratitude and grief. Acknowledging the layers, the tangled weave. Dad, imperfect and human, yet yours to believe To love you, appreciate you, A whispered prayer across time's divide. Thank you for the love, the lessons, the laughs and tears. In the eyes of time, our stories will forever collide” Thinking of you and sending love.
