You would of been proud of of my dad, papa, he was an awesome and loving dad and if you were like my dad I still cry for him. I am stunned and in awe that you are finally in my life. I cried when Tania told me she had found you but these tears are for me and my dad, who you never knew and went to his grave not knowing you. I will make sure papa that my children will remember you. Love forever.
