DEAREST DADDY


HAPPY, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!

I would have loved to be with you today, as in many other occasions, as in many other days. Unfortunately, the state of our lives call for me to be here, away from you, and the rest of the family. Ironic that I have to be in order that I might keep you.

I spoke to you today and you sounded happy and strong. That makes me happy. Every time I hear you that way, I find the resolve to keep at it and I am able to tell myself that I can do it, whatever it takes. It keeps me going just to know I have one more day to let you know how much I love you.

All your life you've put us first in everything and no matter how many times we've disappointed you, or hurt you, you never stopped loving us. Maybe that's just something that fathers do, but every time I think of all you've done for us, it makes me want to do more for you. I can never thank you enough Daddy because even at times when I know you didn't have to anymore, you still did... even at times when you can't anymore, you still tried. If I am strong today, it is because you showed me how to be.


This is for you Daddy. I hope you have a good day.

I love you so much.

True love does not know any boundaries, not even space or time. I'm sure your dad feels he is much loved and I am happy for him.

"It's in the simplest existence,in the humblest company and in the emptiest moments that I learned to appreciate what I had... and find happiness right where I was. I didn't have to reach far and dream big. One can only be as big as one sees oneself. The world will always be bigger still... and God, even more."
