Good Evening Everyone,
I do not know where to start, because I am not used to thanking my father. But, there comes a point in life when you need to be humble and realize the importance of people in your life. Generally, people write these types of messages, but I want to say what is in my heart. My father has always been an inspiration to me as he has left no stone unturned to help me achieve my objectives. He has invested his money, time, energy and youth to ensure we had a roof over our head and food on the table. He has been my motivation and support system when I was down and told me to fight when faced with a challenge. He taught me to be modest, helpful, caring, respectful, and forgiving. I must say I have learned a lot from him and I am still learning from him on how to be a better partner, friend, and above all an inspirational human being.
I can still remember the way you coached me through soccer practice, the way you told me to respect other people’s feelings, and the way you taught me to make my first sandwich. I would like to promise him today that I will spend every shred of my power to follow the principles and values he has bestowed upon me. And, I would like to say that – your time is up now, you need to rest and enjoy the rest of your life. So today, I want to take time and thank him from being such a great guy. I want to thank him for doing so much, and never asking for anything in return. I want to thank him for being my mentor and my guide throughout my life.
Thank you dad, if I could become half as good as you, I will consider myself a successful woman. You are my hero.
