Happy Father's Day 2012

There are three important men in my life, my father, my uncle and my husband. These three men serve a purpose in my life. My father gave me life and raised me well. My uncle gave me the opportunity to start a life here in the USA and my husband gave me love, joy and 2 beautiful children. How do I thank them for Father’s Day?

My father plays a conservative role in our family. He worked hard early mornings till late evenings. He hauled heavy wooden carts filled with glass bottle soda on his shoulder everyday since he was 17. His work is very labor intensive make me appreciate him as my father and as I grew older, I now have a better understanding of him and the sacrifices he made for me and my siblings, and I treasure my time and relationship with him.

My uncle is married to my aunt. We knew each other since I was 12. We got reacquainted when he returned home with my aunt to celebrate their wedding. I was a bridesmaid. My uncle agreed to my aunt’s request to have me stay with them as I obtained my college degree at Fresno State. At that time, there were three of us, before CK and SK arrived. It was like the good old days when they used to date in high school. I respect my uncle for who he is and what he did for me.

My husband, the man I love and married. He is a extraordinary gentleman. I am lucky to have him as my husband and father of my kids. We go way back, his love is unconditional and we had many, many, many good memories during our courtship, wedded life and now raising our kids. Some times it is challenging with my medical stuff, but he is always there for me through thick and thin.

To these three men-happy father’s day!

Your daugther-niece-wife is forever grateful.
