Eulogy

My eulogy is in Elie's perspective and is about Elie sharing his thoughts about what has happened and how he appreciates his fathers actions.

A father to me with no heart before the devastating experience, he was. He loved everyone and everyone loved him even though he did not show it. It showed through his actions. He would bring updated news that everyone needed. He was an important man in my family and I never appreciated that. I felt love towards my dad and the same from him when the Holocaust happened.

He was the only one who I trusted only during the time. He loved, took care, and fed me. I had loads of time to say thanks to him but, instead, I ignored him on his death bed. At that time, I thought about the responsibilities that will be taken off my shoulders when he was gone. I was thinking about myself and only myself. I felt bad after surviving and now I still feel bad.

I just want to say thank you dad for all the times you have taken care of me that I did not cherish. I also want to say sorry for not cherishing of you taking care of me and ignoring you when you were beaten to death. I ask for forgiveness and to say that I love you and say hi to mom and Tzipora if they are there with you.
