Losing someone you love, well there isn’t anything more aching, and nothing that leaves you more hollow. The death of a loved one seeps a grief like no other, and time is nothing but a compartment to wallow what one might mistake for is healing. Actor Adnan Siddiqui lost his father two years ago and remembered him in an incredibly touching tribute.

The actor vowed to better himself, and live a life his father would have been proud of, through an ‘honor[ing]’ all that he was. From ‘reading and writing’ to his children, to ‘continuing [his] passion for Urdu poetry,’ Adnan relayed just how loving his father was and ended the ardently rich tribute on a very positive note; the only way to truly cherish someone once they’ve left, is to live a life that would make them proud.
