A Tribute

As I begin this new chapter, my heart is filled with both joy and longing—joy for the love I’ve found, and longing for the two people who shaped me. Mom, Dad, though you're not here in person, I carry you with me every step of the way.
On my wedding day, I want to honor you both. You gave me life, filled it with love, and taught me strength, kindness, and compassion. Your sacrifices and guidance created the foundation for who I am.
You always hoped I’d find someone who would love and cherish me. Today, I’ve found that person, and I know you’d be so proud. I carry your love into this marriage, living by the values you taught me: love deeply, act with kindness, be patient, and always show respect.
Though I wish you were here, I find peace knowing you’re watching over me. I love and miss you, and I’ll carry you with me always.
