Hi Daddy,

It's been a while. Days have come and gone but that doesn't mean you're not in my thoughts or heart. I often think of you and thank God (Yahuah) that you were in my life. I know that I'm blessed to have you in my life for 31 years. I believe that many people who lost their loved ones way too early would do anything to have their loved ones in the lives for this many years. So each day, I thank God (Yahuah) for loving me so much. A lot has happened since your birthday. This year Bayram came a bit early so we were trying to get as much as possible done. With God's help and our family we were able to help about 50 families this year. I'm always amazed how when work needs to get done for God (Yahuah) and one think it's impossible, the work gets done. Since I'm back in the US, I thought that I wouldn't have been able to get much done. But with the guys who God has strategically put in my life we were able to help families in 5 different cities this year. It's amazing to watch God's plan in action. I can't tell you the amount of time I've witnessed his blessing and now every time I think back of how I got here, I have to thank God for parents like you and mommy. Even though we weren't perfect and life was difficult, each circumstances in my life has made me who I am today. I truly believe the God chose you as my father to let me understand that no matter how much people want to hurt you, you can't just gave in (something you've tried to overcome). I believe to this day that because of losing you I'm closer to God (Yahuah). Maybe I was becoming too disobedient in my life when you were alive and maybe this was the way God (Yahuah) needed to humble me. I'm not saying this is something bad because I saw how difficult life was getting for you and I pray that your soul is free form all this world worries and you're proud of us. Love you bunches - Until we meet again-
