Farewell to the most amazing father, husband and friend.
t’s with a very heavy heart that I share with our Nat- ural Awakening community that my father, Ed Sabo, slipped into eternity on July 27. Ed will be so deeply missed by our family, friends, and Natural Awakenings community, as he had such a huge impact on many. Ed may not be here with us physical- ly, but he will live within all of us in spirit, forever. Our family wishes to dedicate this issue to Ed. We want everyone to help us
celebrate Ed’s life and cherish the time we had with him. As most of you probably already know, the most important thing to my father was his family. My brother and I have the fondest memories of him just being our dad when we were young chil- dren. My father coached our soccer and little league teams, took us to swim meets, participated in the YMCA Indian Princesses and Indian Guides, and taught us how to ride our bikes. He wouldn’t miss a school open house or dance recital for any- thing. Then there were the awesome summer vacations with our parents. We would rent a motorhome and “camp out” for two weeks, while visiting many of the beau- tiful state parks on the east and west coasts. We did this for many years, until sum- mer vacations were spent traveling for soccer. By the time we reached high school, our dad was on the sidelines of our sporting events and traveling all over the U.S. and Europe while I played soccer. He helped us find our first cars, took us on pre- college visits and got us off to college with everything we needed. Any time we needed help with a college assignment he was right there to lend a hand or share his advice. My brother and I made our parents proud when we graduated from col- lege, but Ed was always in the wings encouraging us to go to graduate school. So my brother and I made our parents proud, once again, by earning our MBAs and guess who was on the front row as we received our diplomas . . . our mom and dad. As my brother and I moved into adulthood, our relationship with our father never changed. Ed helped us find our first homes, supported us as we found jobs we loved, and was always available to lend a helping hand, share advice or spend time with us doing nothing. My brother and I truly had the most magical childhood and adulthood that will never be forgotten. My dad went out of his way to ensure his family knew how much they were loved and throughout Ed’s illness we went out of our way to ensure Ed knew how much he was loved by his family. Ed’s only suffering was leaving his family and knowing he wouldn’t be here to share in our lives as we continue to make him proud. Many of you have asked the status of the magazine. We are happy to share that for the time being, our family will continue to publish our monthly magazine in Ed’s honor. Ed had such a love for the Natural Awakenings community and it’s thanks to the community support that we’ve been publishing for more than seven years. I hope each time you pick up a copy of our publication that you will remember my mother and father, co-publishers, of Houston’s very own Natural Awakenings. Today, I say farewell to my best friend, my father, Ed Sabo. Dad, I love you so
very much and a day won’t go by that I don’t think about you. I’m so thankful for the 41 years I had with you, albeit, this wasn’t enough time, but it was enough time for you to have a lasting impact on my life. I wouldn’t be the person I am today had it not been for the amazing role model you were to me and so many.
