I always admired my dad, and my mom. My dad has taught me a lot growing up and I get a lot of what makes me, me from him. My mom has always been there for me through the hard times and has aslo taught me a lot.

I admire my dad's perseverance and patience. imagine yourself being away from your family to work abroad and earn money for you and your family, and not watch your kids grow up, you only have a telephone and e-mail to contact them, which is very efficient, but still not enough. Now, imagine that you left to go abroad since 1993 and not going home since then... your kids were still carefree about the reality and you don't even know how they will cope up while growing because you were in another country building them train rails or making diesel gas... you got sick at work, and you got ill, but nobody is there to comfort you and take care of you... only your workmates and fellow comrades from your country. up until now, he manages to talk to us with a smile. and that smile alone is enough for me to be proud of him and to tell everyone without hesitation, that my dad is the best father in the whole, wide world.
