Congratulations, Dad. You did it. You made me the best. Every time you told me what more I could have done, it was I who benefited. Every time you expected so much more than I could give, it was I who walked away with something more. But I was only the best because I learned from the best. When I came to you for help, you always let me know where I erred. You made sure that I too would not soon forget my mistakes. If I started to do the things I wanted to do, you always put me back on the track to success. I wish I could see the proud look on your face, but my eyes are watering up. It must be allergy season.
