With all his flaws, I would not change my dad for any other. Even though my dad was stern, it was his way of providing stabilty and strength for our family.
My father lives his life not by the expectations of others, but by the way his spirit guides him. He’s never asked us to ‘become famous nor rich’ … but has only asked us to strive to be the best person for ourselves and to seek inner happiness. Family was always first for him and as I look back at the years with my dad, I now see all the sacrifices he made to ensure that we had the best he could give us…and we always had the best of him, his love, affection, and courage.
Despite his challenges, my father never stopped dreaming of a better life for us.
I dedicate this song for you papi: by Julio Iglesias: Gozar la Vida (enjoy life)
What my dad has left in my heart is the twinkle for life, the joy of music and dance, the laughter of friends, the discipline of work, the search for internal courage and the love of family.
Happy Father’s Day, papi! ~ “Feliz Dia de los Padres”
and to all the wonderful dads out there, keep up the great work~
