Hes the man who raised me like he raised his sons, who disciplined me with love, showered me with affection inspite of his work keeping him away most of the time. He is a strong, patient, caring, intelligent, understanding, genuine and honest person who has instilled values in me that i will stand by for life. He is the man that taught me never to back down and always give it my best and no matter what - to always hold my head up high. He is the man that has made me the person i am today and he's given me enough to be a better person tomorrow. He is my father... My hero."
