My father was an exceptional man. He may not have been a perfect man. But he was a good man. And he loved us. All I wanted to do today was to give him a dignified…sending. Is that really so much to ask?

　　So... Maybe... Maybe he had some things he liked to do. Life isn't simple. It's complicated. We're all just thrown in here together in a world full of chaos1（混沌，混亂） and confusion, a world full of questions and no answers, with Death always lingering（徘徊，沉思） around the corner.

　　And we do our best. We can't always do our best. My dad did it best. He always tried to tell me, you have to go for what you want in life, because you never know how long you're gonna be here. And whether you succeed or you fail, the most important thing is to have tried. A parent can only drive you in the right direction. In the end though, you've got to run for yourself. You have to grow up yourself.

　　So when you leave here today, I'd like you to remember my father for what he really was--a decent and loving man. If only（要是……多好） we could be as giving and generous and understanding as my father was. Then the world would be a far better place.
