Dearest Baray Daddy!! Its been almost 2 years since you passed away and I have had the most difficult time visiting this page and leaving a tribute to you. I guess I never wanted to accept that you are not there anymore and leaving this note just knocks the reality of it into my face. Nonetheless, I guess sooner or later, we have to accept these harsh realities of life and face them head on.
Baray Daddy, I feel no matter what I write here can do justice to how I feel about you and the irreparable loss your passing away has been for our entire family. When our Grand Father (Abba Ji) left us, you filled that void with so much grace and beauty. I feel you went 2 steps ahead of him when it came to being an exemplary human being, loving us and providing absolute strength and support to the family. You Baray Daddy have earned so much respect for our Jafary Family name for which we all will always be thankful to you. I hope we can replicate the same and follow your footsteps in our day to day conduct.
I wish I had the opportunity to ask, how you managed to develop so many qualities as I haven't seen many people who are that good at so many things. Just to name a few of your countless attributes:
You were a thorough professional who reached pretty much the top of the corporate ladder, an amazing physician recognized at all levels, a wonderful singer/musician, calligrapher, editor, writer, poet,...... the list just goes on. How did you do all this Baray Daddy???
At the end, I would like to just say this. I wish I can be a fraction of as good a human being as you were. I am honored and blessed to be related to you and part of your larger family. You Baray Daddy will always be remembered in our hearts and will continue to be an inspiration for many Jafary generations.
