Given my history of being a priest, I never thought that I would be a father. I am grateful for becoming a father of three children, all of whom have achieved success in their personal and professional lives. To think that they have gifted me with their loves in marriage and, in turn, have given me six beautiful grandchildren.
Today, I focus on my gratitude that my two sons have exemplified all the values of being a person, a husband, a father, and a productive person. Recalling my history and the need to learn how to be a parent, I know that my sons in their own way assisted me. Granted that some of the experiences were exacerbating at times, but in hindsight, they broadened my vision of life itself. Now I often need to call my sons to ask them questions about what I am reading dealing with economics and law. They respond so well in such a helpful way.
I am also mindful that none of us could have done so well without our treasured wives who add vision and, at times, correction, that have made our decisions as successful as they have been.
On this Father’s Day, I humbly share my immense appreciation and gratitude.
