A beautiful tribute to your father, thank you for sharing, Alex. It's clear your Dad left you with something lasting—not just the boat, but the confidence and resilience to become the person who knew what to do when life turned stormy. It also says a lot about you that you've taken the best of what he gave you and built something even stronger for your own daughters.
I lost my Dad nearly 14 years ago, and the void has only deepened with each passing year. This Father's Day, I went through old family photos spanning my Dad's life—from his teenage years to his days as a grandfather—and used AI to remove the dust, dirt, and scratches. Watching those images come back to life felt like reconnecting with him across the years. The memories endure, my Dad lives on forever in the heart and mind.
Thanks for sharing, Christian - love this idea. I don’t have a ton of pictures but we have a few on our Aura frame, and I swear, any time we talk about him, one of those pictures comes up.
Preserving his memory in this (or any) way, keeps him close.
Cried reading this. You know, sharing that dad who wasn’t the greatest, and then seeing you become the dad who truly is… nothing makes me prouder. 💕
Thank you ❤️❤️
You are an amazing dad and we are all so lucky to have you in our lives!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️😘
