He was a hardworking man who loved his family. He taught his children to be hardworking and he was
quite sacrificial for his family.
He always warned George never to be lazy and own up to his responsibilities. He was and still is one of
George's few greatest influence in life and family matters.
He worked as a motorcyclist at the time he died and George thinks of him as a scarlet rider because he
drove as someone who is younger. I want this poem to incorporate this fact but I don't want the word
'motorcyclist' to be used or included in the poem.
It's been one year since George's dad died but everyone still miss him a lot because he holds his family
well, even in death. His nickname is 'Apalara' transliterated to 'the arm is family'

My fellow family members and friends, we have gathered here today to honor and remember the life of
a great man, my father, Apalara, who was more than just a father to me. He was a mentor, a role model,
and a friend. He was a hardworking man who loved his family deeply and taught us the values of hard
work, sacrifice, and responsibility. His influence in my life and the lives of my siblings is immeasurable.
My father was a true father in every sense of the word. He took care of us, provided for us, and made
sure we were always safe and secure. He was always there for us, even when things got tough. He was a
man who knew the value of hard work, and he instilled that value in all of us. He taught us to be
responsible, to take ownership of our lives, and to always do our best.
He was a man who never hesitated to put his family first. He worked as a scarlet rider, and although it
was not an easy job, he did it with pride and passion because he knew it was for the good of his family.
He never complained, he never gave up, and he always pushed himself to be the best he could be. His
strength and determination were truly inspiring.
My father was a man of few words, but his actions spoke louder than any words could ever do. He
showed us what it meant to be a good man, a good husband, and a good father. He taught us that family
comes first, and that we should always be there for each other, no matter what. He was always there for
us, even when we didn't realize it, and for that, we will always be grateful.
In his death, we mourn the loss of a great man, but we also celebrate his life and the legacy he leaves
behind. He will always be remembered as a loving husband, a dedicated father, and a true friend. He
may no longer be with us in person, but his spirit and his memory will live on in our hearts forever.
To my father, Apalara, I say thank you. Thank you for being the best father any child could ever ask for.
Thank you for your love, your guidance, and your unwavering support. You will always be missed, but
you will never be forgotten. We love you, and we honor you today and always.
