Happy Bday Dad!

Although you weren't the perfect father figure and I didn't agree with all of your parental practices, I do believe that you were the greatest father ever, because you worked incredibly hard for yourself, Mom, Jamie and I. You even extended your reach to our uncles, aunties, grandmas, grandpas, and countless cousins in the Philippines. You encompass everything included in the American dream. I still feel the effects of things that you have taught me to this day, and those lessons are things that I will take with me forever regardless of the path God chooses for me.
