It might seem like we’re far apart right now but in my heart, you couldn’t be closer. I would rather have you miles away than not have you in my life at all, my dear.
I know the lengths you went to in order to get my dad’s approval to marry my sister. He just wanted to be sure that you were the right man for her. I knew all along that you were perfect for her.
I appreciate everything you have done for me over the years and all of the sacrifices you have made.
You have always put me first and there isn’t a single man in the world who I respect more than I respect you. To me, you will always be my true father.
I’m lucky to have so many male role models in my life, but none are as important as you. Your grace, perseverance and wisdom are some of the many reasons why I look up to you.
Thank you for being who you are! Have a lovely day, uncle!
