On September 16th, 2023, my father, Rafi Sion, left this world. The pain of that moment was overwhelming, and the days that followed felt like carrying a knife in my heart.
In his final days, I tried to tell him how much he meant to me – how his love, his guidance, and the countless little things he did had shaped who I am. But by then, he was no longer fully with me, and my words could not reach him.
That silence stayed with me. It became the seed of something I felt I had to create.
I built WishLoop so that no one else would miss the chance to express their love, gratitude, and light to the people who matter most. It’s a simple way to gather heartfelt video messages that can be cherished forever.
This project is my tribute to my father – a man I never got to say goodbye to the way I wished, a man who never got to hear just how deeply he mattered in my life.
If losing him taught me anything, it’s this: never wait to celebrate the people you love. Bring them joy. Lift them up. Show them their importance while you still can.
So next time someone dear to you marks a milestone, shine your light on them. Collect real, meaningful wishes they can hold onto – a well of love and positive energy they can return to whenever they need it ❤️
