Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to the man who -

- gave me his love and his time

- inspired me with his knowledge

- guided me with his wisdom

- motivated me with high standards

- entertained me with his brilliant wit

- bestowed upon me my sense of humor, my blue eyes, my intellect, and my thirst for knowledge

- and who raised and nurtured four children in a joyful and inspiring home that was always safe, comfortable, encouraging, and full of laughter.

Happy Father's Day, as well, to the man who -

- gave me the privilege of being called a father in the first place and inspired me to be a better person

- filled me with wonder as I watched him grow and discover the world

- went on walks and hikes with me, on trips to the park, to the beach, the cinema, the arcade, and our favorite shops and restaurants

- spent time with me playing, chatting, hiking, trekking, dining, joking, watching movies, solving puzzles, or inventing games that no one had ever played before

- traveled extensively with me in the US and abroad

- inspires me continuously with his wit, his sensitivity, his talent, his ambition, his creativity, his dedication, and his professionalism

- and fills every day of my life with joy, pride, and admiration.

Happy Father's Day to everyone who provides for their children, guides them, and does whatever it takes to be a good father.
