Happy 72nd heavenly birthday to my dad Ilia by Ann Wood

You would be seventy-two today, but life had a different fate for you.
A medical error was the reason for your ridiculous death, which took you away from us forever in the distant year 1998.
You were a worthy man who always helped other people.
The best father, husband, brother, uncle, and relative, a friend of many people whom they sent with honor and military honors.
You were my hero, my support and protection.
You have remained in the hearts of many people who still remember you.
I miss you terribly much, Dad, and I carry you in my arms for the rest of my life; I love you, my father.
Happy heavenly birthday, dear father; I hope it's better up there than here on earth.
Today, if he were still alive, you would be proud of the coolest grandchildren in the world, my wonderful nephews, Tsvetin and Ilian.
Today I lit a candle to light your memory, and mom made your favorite bean stew and homemade bread to celebrate your holiday, dad.
Rest in peace, my father, and eternal memory.
With love, light, and peace forever, your daughter Annie.
