Everyone can be a father but not everyone can be a dad. My dad would not hesitate to give us the last $5 from his pocket. That's how generous he was. He brought us up to respect others and to honor our family's name. He personified honesty - when he was working for the government, he didn't use his assigned car for personal use. My dad is now bedridden and under 24-hour care but he will always be the model of how I would like to raise my own children. Happy Father's Day, Dad. I miss you a lot.

My grad is the best because he's been on honor roll all 4 years and he won the award for the most well rounded student. He also has a great heart and personality
