“Growing up, Dad would often ask us,: “what father would hate his son?” which we believe was his own way of saying that despite how unfair and harsh his actions may seem towards us, it has always come from a place of love.
Now as kids that have been terribly hard to understand at times, we can say with pride that you are everything we could ever want in a father and will continue to cherish you.
Speaking further, they described their mother as the backbone and strength of the family who has carried through for each of them
“you’ve always been a light in the sometimes all too dark world, an unwavering smile in the sadness we experienced, you go through so much, carrying far too much on your shoulders and despite that you never break . forever marching forward as if it were nothing,.
“you’ve picked us up more times than we can remember, and a thank you hardly seems enough but I hope you’ll take it. So thank you mom, you are all a child could ever want.” They said
They wished their parents a joyous celebration and prayed God to grant them many more blissful years together.
