I Learned...

• I learned to forgive because every wrong i did was forgiven, and Dad always urged to move on.
• I learned to forget because every wrong I did, was never reminded to me.
  
• I learned to risk because you were the one who taught me to risk. You even risked your life for many others on a ship when you were younger, and I was made witness to that heroic act.
• I learned to fight, because with every twisted act, you told me we must assert our right and never be bullied.
• I learned to love, because you loved Mom, and we are witnesses to that LOVE.
• I learned to listen because you were always there to listen to us, and even to our grannies too.
• I learned not to listen to negative things, because you told me it will never bring me anywhere.
• I learned to share because you were always a giver.
• I learned to be generous because, even with something small, you were ready to give what is left for yourself.
• I learned to become a good mother, because you are the father that I have, and you were my inspiration.
• I learned to love, because the father I have has been a loving father too.
• I learned to love you more, because you have become the father that my husband never had since he was six.
• I learned to appreciate fathers because you are my father.

And all these, is because of you!

Happy Father's Day, Dad! I love you!
And to the father of my kids, my unconditional love too!
