This is the hardest thing to do, especially when it was in their living years, I did my mother's eulogy, my father's eulogy, and my brother's eulogy... Sometimes, it takes a whole lot to make a speech for the ones you love... Viewing from Guam 🇬🇺 May your father rest peacefully, and as you go through your healing process, may you find peace. Hafa Adai and Si Yu'us Ma'ase..
I too had to write a eulogy for my dad… I came to RU-vid to get some ideas… I came across yours. So many similarities as far as my relationship with my dad. Like you, there was a point in my life where I couldn't stand my dad. By the way one of my favorite speeches is also the one you picked ……the man in the arena, so needless to say. Your RU-vid had me bawling. I love my dad, but didn't get along with him. As the an nurse in the Family it fell on me to take on the responsibility. I had to quit my job when I ran out of vacation and sick time. He was bedridden from a stroke, and had to be on hospice for almost a year. I would massage him every day and move his limbs to keep them from getting stiff, and religiously turn him every two hours when he was awake. I'm proud to say he never got a bed sore, and it was like that for almost a year. He was able to die peacefully in his sleep next to the wife he loved of over 67 years. In the end we made amends, and my dad said the kindest words to me. He said he was so proud of me. When he died. I had no sadness because I knew I had given it my all in taking care of him. I finally had the best relationship I have ever at any time with my dad. I too used Theodore Roosevelt's poem in my dad's eulogy… You're brutal honest memory for your dad inspired me to do an honest eulogy… friends and family didn't fly from all over the country just to hear me BS about my dad for 10 minutes… Thanks for your inspiration… if you're ever in San Antonio, Texas… look me up and let me buy you a beer. My dad wasn't perfect and neither am I… It didn't change my love for him. I realize he was a great man, even though the world looked at him as average. I'm sorry for your loss and condolences to you and your family.
Nino Lim is an incredibly inspiring figure. I've learned a great deal from him, personally. With every conversation I have with Nino, I am inspired. It's my hope that he memorializes his story with a full book. People can derive many lessons from listening to him. I have learned a great deal, and I regularly share his teachings with others.
This is amazing…. A very intelligent son giving a very honest eulogy to his father!. I feel proud to be a regular customer at Island Pacific here in San Diego, California ❤️
It's so touching that I can't hold my tears what a wonderful son not ashamed to tell their familys ups and downs I'm so proud of you and alsoyour father William lim in heaven God blesses you more you are so brilliant.
This is the best eulogy I ever heard. You’re a very good speaker and eloquent.You can be a good author basing on how you presented the eulogy. Brilliant!
I was sad at the end, that he would not talk nor see his father for a million reason, but at the end he wish to see him again...at least for an hour...he visited his father only during the last few moments of his life...too late of a hero...anyway, condolence...and stay strong..
It would have been sweeter when his praise was heard by his father. But things happen like this in the family. The children mostly keep their emotions to themselves just to avoid friction with the parents or father for that matter, and so they stay away. Hope you have peace of mind now. May your father William Lim, rest in peace.
What Happen when a Person Die? In order to get the correct answer, let us consult the infallible word of God. And the safest way to start is to ask the question: Q. 1) How did God create or form man? A. Genesis 2:7; And God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul. Note: In forming man, God used two substances namely: 1. Dust of the ground 2. Breath of life Note: Now that we know how God formed man, we can safely answer the above question by reversing the process in which God formed man. To illustrate: Ii At Creation: Dust of the ground plus breath of life = man or a living soul At Death: Living Soul minus breath = Dust Q. 2) What happen to these two substances when a person die? A. 1.) Ecclesiastes 12:7; Then the dust return to the earth as it was, and the spirit (or breath of life, Genesis 2:7) return to God who gave it. A. 2) Job 27:3; All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils. A. 3) Genesis 3:17; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat thy bread, till thou return to the ground, for out of it was thou taken, for dust thou art, and unto dust shall thou return. Note: The three texts above clearly explained what happen to the two substances that God used in forming man at the time of death. At the same time, they also clearly answer the question. What happen when a person dies? The body return to dust of the ground where it was taken, and the spirit or breath return to God who gave it. ( Ecclesiastes 12:7) The belief that when a person dies, there is a soul (immortal) that leave the body, and depending on how the person lived when alive, will determine where the soul will spend eternity, either in hell, to be punished and tortured for all eternity, in purgatory, with the hope of being brought to heaven or direct to heaven as the case maybe. This belief is contradictory to Ezekiel 18:20; The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The truth is, this belief is based on the Greek Philosophy called “Dualism” (pls check dualism in the internet) which teaches that the body and the mind are two separate entity, In that the body is physical while the mind is spiritual and immortal. Here lies this very dangerous belief. Why? Because if the soul is immortal, of course it is not subject to death. That is why, when a sinner die, based on this belief, the soul will go to hell to be tortured and burned forever and ever without end. What kind of punishment is this? Endless. Don’t make sense. It is because the soul is not subject to death, immortal. This is unbiblical. To dispel this erroneous belief, simple questions need to be asked. 1. Would our gracious, loving, merciful and longsuffering God, allow eternal torture and eternal life to co-exist? Of course not. 2. What kind of sin does anyone do, to deserve this kind of endless torture? It does’nt make sense at all. According to Galatians 6:7; Whatsoever a man soweth, that he also reap. The truth is, God did not create anything or anyone immortal. For had he done this, then sin would be immortalized. The Bible said, that God alone is immortal. 1 Timothy 6:15,16. The reason is obvious, God knows the end from the beginning, Isaiah 46:9,10. Thus, he knew that Adam and Eve would commit sin, Genesis 3:6. and Romans 5:12; For by one man sin enter the world, and death by sin, in the death passed to all men, for all have sinned. The wages of sin is death. (Romans 6:23) Q. When will the person that died and who return to the dust, be made alive again? A. 1. John 5:28,29; Marvel not at this, for the hour is coming in the which, all that are in the graves shall hear his voice. And shall come forth, they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life, and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. 2. Daniel 12:2; And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. Note: The two texts, clearly explained that the dead sleep in the dust and will come to life, when the voice of the Lord is heard. Q. What event does the Bible say, would take place, when the dead which came forth from the graves/dust, and who have done good? A. 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17; For the Lord himself, shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel, and with the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Note: The event described in the above text, is referring to the second coming of Christ. (John 14:1-3.) Q. How about those that have done evil, when will they come to life? A. Revelation 20:5; But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. Note: In conclusion, with this text, the resurrection of all that died and in their graves, (John 5:28,29) from Adam and Eve at the beginning, up to the last person who will die just before Christ second coming, is hereby completed. The reward of them that hath done good, is described in 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17, and in Revelation 20:6; Blessed and holy is he who hath part in the first resurrection, for the second death hath no power. In contrast, the punishment of them that hath done evil is described in Revelation 22:8, and is called the second death. .
I am so sorry for your lost ...but you are such a good son...l am crying hard while l am listening to your very expressive eulogy to your father...l have only one SON and a DAUGTHER but l don't feel any such love from them...your experienced in life is almost the same with us only the difference is we are not business minded...and we don't have that much effort to do business... I admired you for being a very smart ..honest and loving son... May God Bless you always and more success in your business....
A very honest, intelligent way speech of a proud son. I am in awe how he said it that I glued my ears.I was so interested to listen, sometimes shed a tear 😪 upon listening how he say good things about his father full of love and pride. He loved his father so much.
So honest. So sincere. So loving. Flowing with sadness. But exploding with love, inspiration and appreciation. Salamat sa maraming aral... Prayers and condolence.
He is a good son afterall, however, he loves his mom so much, he has all the praises for her despite the "beating" of his father during younger years. You delivered a very touching eulogy, very unique and showed the true picture of your family. Congratulations! Believe that every thing that happened brought you where you are and what you are now. God bless your family. Rest in peace, Sir William Lim. 🙏🙏🙏
