My first memory of my dad was lying against his shoulder when I was crying as a baby and he was rubbing my back until I stopped crying (this might have been for many hours). I remember feeling immense comfort and love. He was that type of father, one who would do whatever it took to make sure you were happy. He was so selfless and the words "how are you?" were the first words from his mouth when he saw you. He was the most generous and loving father and grandfather. You are my hero, dad, and I will love you forever!
