4．I miss you，Dad．I almost laugh out when I see you in myself，from the thinning hair on my head to the ways I respond to everyday things．It makes me realize that you are a part of me and will always be in my heart．It brings me a warm smile as I remember how you taught me about character，honesty，integrity（正直），and self-respect．You taught me to enjoy my work．You taught me to share，for only by giving something do I truly receive something．You taught me about love，as you loved all seven of us children so much．You set a good example to us by being at church each time the door was open．I was watching you as you led our family in prayer（祈祷）each night before going to bed．Through you Dad，I learned what is truly important in life．I now know that you continue to live with me and I hope I have passed the valuable traits down to my kids．
You lost your father when you were only two years old．Your mother fell ill when you were 13years old．You knew that dropping out of middle school and helping provide for your mother were necessary．So you did three jobs a day to support your mother and after you got married you worked even harder to support your family．
So，parents，especially fathers，remember that you do make a difference by what you teach your children．You can make a difference to the world．
Children，now is the right time to express your love and thanks to your dads for what they do for you．A big hug，a warm thank-you，and living a life of purpose will give them more joy than you can imagine．
