In loving memory of my Dad
As you took your last breaths, I held your hand; knowing I would have to let go of the one man who has loved me since I took my first breath. You let go and I am left holding 51 years of memories of you. They do bring me peace. The unconditional love and unwavering faith that I would always shine in your eyes.
I know that you are joyful to be rid of your mortal body; however, I will miss your hugs.
After you left us, as I wondered at the new journey you were taking, the sunshine broke through the dreary day. The heavens were rejoicing at your return. I know there were many waiting for you on the other side to welcome you home. Your mother, your grandmother, Dan and the many Scottie dogs and friends you have loved.
I look back in this time of world sorrow to remember the joys we shared. Many of them are cliché, you teaching me how to ride a bike; however, many are dear to my heart. Taking sail boat lessons and then sailing your boat with you as the captain and me as your young skipper. Setting up the black and white photo studio in the family bathroom for me to practice developing images. Laughing so hard (at nothing) we would have to tell each other to breathe, so we did not pass out.
You always seemed to have a camera in hand as you documented our incredible childhood. Being the first of five, there are hundreds of pictures of me; however, you kept documenting the arrivals of my siblings and the many adventures we had together in Oakland, California; Yokosuka, Japan; Charleston, South Carolina and Fairfax, Virginia. We had a hard time finding photos of just you, because most of the time you were the Campbell Clan historian.
None your “turkeys” followed in your footsteps of being a pediatrician. You cared so deeply for all of the thousands of children you treated in your 50+ year career with the Navy and Kaiser Permanente. You even cared for the health of our friends (of any age), who were always welcomed into the clan with open arms. It looks like the calling for that type of service skipped a generation as your grandchildren begin to test their own wings and build families of their own. Who knows what they all will become? And now, we await for the first of the great-grandchild, a boy due late this summer. Regardless, like your five children, they will all shine their own light to inspire the lives of others.
2020 has been a bizarre year so far. So many things, beyond your passing, are shifting the world. What will always ring true is your sage advice to guide us on our way. I will take all that I have learned from you and strive to always make you proud.
