“It doesn't matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was.”

“My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.”

“It no longer bothers me that I may be constantly searching for father figures; by this time, I have found several and dearly enjoyed knowing them all.”
