Well to be honest I envy you for writing an elegy so beautifully and I also envy your father for being so highly admired by his son! A truly heroic figure is imagined by reading this poem that mocks all mythical heros! Also it was so good of you to add your notes, but I think I'm not sure how your late father hero passed away! Did you mention it?

A wonderful elegy to an obviously remarkable being... you spread the word well. And thank you for the glossary at the end; it helps those of us from other cultures to have a fuller understanding.

It's pleasing to talk about those who leave indelible marks in our lives, and you have done yours in a very rich way, with much brilliance and splendour. I love this poem. God bless you
