Dear Dad


Dear Dad, thank you for taking my side in matches against Mom,

For being the male diva that you are,

For allowing me to proudly represent Pakistan,

For joining us every Sunday Mass although the Muslim faith is where you stand,

Dear Dad, thank you for being my best friend, 

For instilling that blood comes before all else,

For being a unique role model for my little brother,

For working so hard day and night so my Mom can take care of my cancer stricken sister,

And above all else, thank you for everything you have given me due to your inability to ever say no to any of my selfish materialistic desires.
