Dad. You taught me that the most important thing a father can leave his kids is not what he leaves for them but what he leaves in them. You operated heavy machinery by day in a tiny toothbrush. By night, you lifted me up even higher than you could lift yourself. You told me stories of warriors and dragons not to convince me that dragons were real, but to show me that evil can be overcome. You mastered the art of carrying a sleeping child, fixing little toys and making the perfect sandwich. He showed me that you don't have to have superpowers to be a superhero. You knew that there is no quality time without quantity. Time you clean up my messes, impersonated my favorite animals, wiped away my tears. You understood that your greatest gift to our family was not your productivity but your presence. You were focused but interruptible. Brave, compassionate, strong but gentle. Because there is nothing so strong as gentleness and nothing so gentle as real strength. Thanks, Dad.
