Eulogy Project !

In the following blog I will be writing a eulogy from the perspective of a character from the book I have just finished reading called "Night" by Elie Wiesel.
Dear Father,
My father was a great, bold and strong man. He will be missed by his only son. I felt like I was tormenting my own father when I forced him too keep going and not to stop. Then again it was for the best or should i say my best, I did not want to loose my father. I also wanted him to prove his point of showing how brave he could be. As his only son it was my job to keep my father next to me. Losing him meant more then losing a ration of bread and soup.
I regret neglecting his last words to me "Eliezer", my name. How could I ever ignore my father when he called me by my name. Never had I done that in my life. Until this day I am still hurt and disappointed in myself for doing it.
Gone but never forgotten. He was a very wise man. A wise man who taught his son wrong from right. The man who never gave up under any condition because he knew quiting meant failure and failure gave a bad influence. I'd like to apologize to my father for all the corrupt matters iv'e done in the past.
Sincerely your discouraged son,
Eliezer
