Last Words
I understand how difficult it is to write about a loved one’s life after they have died. The incident evokes a flood of emotions and memories. Here are a few simple ideas to help you create an amazing tribute for your father’s death anniversary.
Begin with the theme. You can be amusing, emotional, artistic, humorous, or religious. You can include your connection with your father, as well as how he interacts with his friends or coworkers. Also, you think of a positive attribute of his and connect it to a specific situation.
A tribute is not an obituary in which you simply list biographical information or important dates. Make the decision to tell a story. A narrative about his life, the good he’s done, and your connection. People connect with stories rather than dates or facts.
Consider all of your father’s best qualities. Consider the things that will bring honor to your late father. In most cases, avoid including negative characteristics. Humor can be used to acknowledge some negative characteristics.
You can write as if you’re talking directly to your father or as a narrator telling a tale about him to your guests. Finally, express your gratitude and love for your dad. You can also express gratitude to everyone who was a part of your father’s life.
