Dad,
You are such an admirable man. When I think of you, I think of how you lived your beliefs and values. You also showed me the how living your beliefs and values along with the acceptance of others brings peace in your heart. These are the lessons that I will always remember and try to live them as you did. Thank you for accepting me into the family. I love you and thinking about you and the sparkle in your eyes will always bring me peace and joy.
