Thank you for being MY Dad

He stands behind me, always will, my rock. An invisible support, the strongest I’ve ever known, always breaking my fall. I’ve known shelter, I’ve known protection and I’ve known a cocoon. I’ve known a possessiveness that keeps you out of harm’s way, a love that envelops you like the light and warmth of sunshine, which guides your way with hope and direction. I’ve known a faith and belief in my abilities much more that I could ever have in myself. I’ve learnt truth, integrity, sincerity, pureness of heart and goodness of being as a way of life through his life. To be a person who gives and gives, one who does not expect gratitude in return – it takes selflessness beyond comprehension. Do I thank the heavens or do I thank fate for bringing me to you? All I know is that I love you, Dad. Thank you for being MY Dad.
