أحيانًا بل دائمًا هناك مواقف تعجز كل مفردات اللغة عن وصفها، ولكنك تستطيع أن ترى آثارها بكل وضوح على وجوه الناس، وهناك حقائق أكيدة ومتأصلة ومعترف من الجميع بها، ومع ذلك نحاول الهرب منها.
والموت بل موت الأحباء بل الحبيب الأول والأكبر والأقرب من الحقائق التي يقف العقل قبل القلب أمامها حائرًا، خاصة وهو مؤمن بأن هذا هو قدر الله وقضاؤه، وأنه أمر سيمر على كل البشر ودرب سيسلكه الجميع.
أكتب كل هذه المقدمة لأقول رحيلك يا أبي كان حدثًا جللًا ومصابًا عظيمًا. نعم كنت أعلم بأن الموت حق وأواسي بها نفسي عند النوائب ولكن بعد فقدك أيقنت أنه شيء فوق طاقتي على التحمل، لم يكن فقدانًا فقط بل صدعًا كبيرًا في سيرة حياتنا، لقد كنت كل شيء، فعلًا كل شيء، ليس لي ولا لأسرتي وعائلتي بل لكل من يعرفك ويقترب من بياض قلبك وسمو روحك وكرم سجاياك.
لقد تجاوزت يا والدي مرحلة الأب المثالي لتكون الرمز المثالي لمعنى أن تكون رحيمًا ومحبًا ومسؤولًا وصانع فرح.
نعم ليس لدي إخوة، ولكن وجودك ملأ هذا الفراغ مبكرًا، فكنت الشقيق والصديق والرفيق، وعرفت معنى أن يكون اسمك رمزك حين أغشى أي محفل وأذكر اسمي فيبادر الجميع بالحفاوة والترحيب كوني ابنك، يحتفون بي لأنهم يحتفون بذكرك، وأدركت حينها أن السمعة الطيبة رأس المال الحقيقي لي ولنا.
رحلت يا أبي، ولن ترحل من قلوبنا وقلوب من جبرت خواطرهم ومن حفظت صلة الرحم بهم ومن آنستهم في وحشتهم.
رحلت يا أبي وليتك كنت معي وأنت ترى وتسمع سيل المكالمات التي تلقيتها بعد رحيلك ودهشت أيما إدهاش من كلام الناس، فكلهم أجمعوا على جملة واحدة «نعزيك ونعزي أنفسنا في هذا الرجل، فهو طيب القلب نقي السريرة».
رحلت يا أبي وليتك انتظرت قليلًا، فهناك عشرات الأسرار التي أود أن أبوح بها لك، وعشرات الأمور التي أرغب أن أستشيرك فيها، وعشرات الأماكن التي أتمنى أن أرافقك في زيارتها.
رحلت يا أبي وتركت لي ولشقيقاتي وأحفادك أرثًا عظيمًا ألا وهو سيرتك العطرة وذكرك الطيب. نم قرير العين يا والدي وهنيئًا لك دعوات الناس بالرحمة والمغفرة. «إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون».
رحلت من الدنيا ولم ترحل عن حياتنا

Sometimes, or rather always, there are situations that all the vocabulary of the language fails to describe, but you can see their effects clearly on people's faces. There are certain undeniable and deeply rooted truths that everyone acknowledges, yet we try to escape from them.
And death, especially the death of loved ones, particularly the first and greatest beloved, is one of those truths that the mind stands perplexed before, especially when it believes that this is God's destiny and decree, and that it is something that every human will experience and a path that everyone will walk.
I write all this introduction to say that your departure, my father, was a monumental event and a great loss. Yes, I knew that death is a reality, and I comforted myself with this during times of distress, but after your loss, I realized that it was something beyond my capacity to bear. It was not just a loss but a significant fracture in the narrative of our lives. You were everything, truly everything, not just to me and my family but to everyone who knew you and came close to the purity of your heart, the nobility of your spirit, and the generosity of your character.
You surpassed the stage of the ideal father to become the ideal symbol of what it means to be compassionate, loving, responsible, and a creator of joy.
Yes, I have no siblings, but your presence filled this void early on, as you were the brother, the friend, and the companion. I learned what it meant for your name to be a symbol when I entered any gathering and mentioned my name, and everyone would rush to greet and welcome me as your son, celebrating me because they were celebrating your memory. I realized then that a good reputation is the true capital for me and for us.
You have departed, my father, but you will not leave our hearts or the hearts of those whose spirits you uplifted, those with whom you maintained family ties, and those you comforted in their loneliness.
You have departed, my father, and I wish you had waited a little longer, for there are dozens of secrets I wish to share with you, and countless matters I wish to consult you about, and many places I hope to accompany you to visit.
You have departed, my father, leaving me, my sisters, and your grandchildren a great legacy, which is your fragrant reputation and your good memory. Rest easy, my father, and may you be blessed with the prayers of people for mercy and forgiveness. "Indeed, we belong to God and indeed to Him we shall return."
