My inspiration - my father

The bond between my father and me is very special. I doubt anyone would every understand it. I am so like him in so many ways, and if I could live my life all over again - you know what - I would want to be more and more like him.

He is a great guy, always pushing me to be the best I could be in anything. The way he encouraged me while I was growing up, well at that time they were more like sermons, atleast so I thought. At 16 who wants to conquer the world, I just wanted to go out and have fun. But I know, that I did manage to get some of his wise words into my head, if not I would'nt be where I am and who I am today. Even on days that I failed I knew I would always come to to love. He is my biggest cheerleader and my biggest fan. He always said be caring, respectful and responsible. He showed me that the most important things in life have less to do with having material things and expensive shoes…and more to do with being kind toward others and sharing your inner light with the world.

I keep reflecting on the things he taught me, and I can't wait to pass them on to my own children. I really miss that they are cannot share their grandparents, the way I would like. My kids are missing out on knowing one of the greatest men to have walked the earth - thats you dad.
