It ain't over til it's over (never give up)

one day
one hour
one minute
one second
one breath
at a time
you brought us all together
united in our grief
in the graceful way you laid
and the courage you showed
in the face of unimaginable pain
you made us understand
in the way you said goodbye
to each and every one of us
individually
and the wider community
you never stopped participating
you never stopped living
you never gave up
you faced your final battle Dad
with great courage and dignity
and we your children are inspired
once again
by your example
one day
one hour
one minute
one second
one breath
at a time

Thank you Dad - 9 November 07, 3.30 pm

All Your Children,
Zafar, Azar, Shahnaz, Shamshad, Emteaz, Gulnaz, Rukhtaz
