He said goodbye to his loved one with a touching obituary of his father. “So beautiful and warm”

Who was Telesfor Wieraszka? It is best to give the floor to one of his relatives, who published an obituary of his father, who died at the end of April this year, in “Rzeczpospolita”. Mr. Telesfor was 96 years old, but in the entry about him you will not find dry information about his funeral and his mourning family. Instead, you will find only love.

Who was Telesfor Wieraszka?

During the war, as a young boy, following in the footsteps of his older brothers, he fought in the ranks of Peasant Battalions in eastern Poland. He was a construction inspector by profession and performed his work with great care. Throughout his life, he was a cheerful, gentle and warm man, who loved nature, valued family and relationships with other people. This is how I will remember him and this is how he will remain in my heart. Telesfor Wieraszko’s favorite saying was a reference to the children’s TV program entitled “It’s time for Telesfor”. And now it’s time for Telesfor. See you later, Dad.

An obituary with this content was published in the paper edition of “Rzeczpospolita” and from there, thanks to the vigilance of one of the readers, to social media, where for several hours it has been probably the most frequently shared information about someone’s death. We did not know Mr. Telesfor, and yet the obituary brought him closer to us, making us regret that we did not know him.

My eyes were opened, because it always seemed to me that obituaries only wrote about death and funeral ceremonies. And you can convey these messages so beautifully and warmly.

And this is how we should live – deserving such a beautiful obituary.

Beautiful words about a beautiful man – we read in numerous comments under the shared photos with the obituary.

Dear relatives of Mr. Telesfor Wieraszko, please accept our most moved condolences. The world seems a less bright place without the man you are saying goodbye to.
