Eulogy

We like to think stars live forever since they are frozen in time on the galactic stage for as long as we can see them, etched into the vast darkness of our night sky.  The reality is they don’t defy the laws of nature, they have a natural lifespan. All things do. We meet people that also seem like they may live forever and my father was one of them.  In the universe, gravity grasps all energy and matter together, planets attracting moons, stars circling stars, galaxies swirling into a cosmic dance, the closer these celestial giants get to each other the harder they pull those around them into their core.  This is how my dad lived his life, affecting each person he met authentically to the core of who they are and in turn taking their core on to affect him.  If you met him, you couldn’t forget his soul.  In many ways, our lives can be measured by our interactions and relationships with others, the gravity between us.  

My father, Dinndayal Morgan maintained a perpetual gravity with every other star around him and just as a giant star dies and bursts into a supernova, his dying has an effect on everything fortunate enough to be touched by his glow.  

We never know why people pass when they do, but maybe that is the most captivating part about death, answering the cosmic mystery.

I love you so much Dad.
