An idea, a spark, the moment of creation, the beginning of something new, exciting, and life changing. More than 6 billion people in the world, and each so unaware of their incredible impact on the world, and other people’s lives.

Like one solitary drop in the ocean, just a fraction of the incomprehensible size of the ocean, and though at first, it’s effects are small, just a few ripples through the sea; it grows.

Each ripple adds to another, and to another and yet another, the ripples grow, they pile up and begin to form waves, currents, the bustling life below of fish, and the unknown begin to take notice of this growing force, the waves grow, higher and higher they form, schools of fish rush through the deep blue currents, their scales sparkling under the surface.

And so the currents and the waves move, and grow, and change, they reach the land’s edge, they beat against the coarse rocks, sculpting cliffs and surfaces, creating something unique and beautiful, and all in origin from some tiny drop in the ocean.

A life’s impact can be even greater than a drop in the ocean, and for us, your life thus far truly has been and continues to be.

As you changed, and as you grew, you formed a world through your life for others, you gave your children a beautiful world of compassion and love, of strength and of joy, a bond of which grows even stronger day by day, and with each move you took, each decision you made, you paved the way for more, likes ripples spreading through the ocean, the world you created, grew.

Your children, brought up with so much love in their hearts, began to expand the world you had given them, all the while, your influence and impact remaining imprinted within each family member, a relatively small world now large, and abundant with life, happiness, and love.

For your support, your love, your smiles and stories, for your jokes and songs, we love you dearly, for everything you have given this family, for making it what it is today, I thank you, your family thanks you, for meaning the world to us.
