We honor & celebrate all fathers today, the 3rd Sunday in June. It has been 3 years since Dad passed away, however, his legacy as a father lives on. I see Dad in my brothers when they are gardening, working, cleaning, fixing the cars, cooking & just having a fun time with their families. Thanks Dad for always knowing what to say when things do or don't go the way we plan. For encouraging us to pursue our dreams and be adventurous in everything we do. His words of wisdom would always be a cliche, he always said, "nothing ventured nothing gained". For instilling family pride & values. For believing in God, humanity & nature. For teaching us to make our money the old fashion way - by earning it honestly. For being the family storyteller and showcasing all our memories in journals & photo albums. For loving us unconditionally. And for being our wonderful Dad & hero. I pay tribute to you & all family & friends who are fathers on this day.
This is one of Dad's favorite photos taken in Beijing, China June 1987
