I never could have thanked you enough or expressed how much I have appreciated having you in my life Dad. I could never thank you as much as you deserved to be for showing me the how's to and the ways to become a real man in life. Never would have thought how lucky I was that day when you chose to love and take care of me as your own when I was around the age of 3. I have so much more to say about the man I call father, dad, and the mentor I had in my life.
To be cont......
