You gave up everything
Sports
Pride
I cannot say I understand you
Because I don't
So all I ask is
Why?
Why give everything for one moment?
One
You would not gain from it
But you chose
And for that
I love you.

It was fathers day and my aunts were telling me about all the opportunities my dad had. They told me how he turned them down. And now he is here. For that. I thank him.

Good Job. I like it, love actually! You should give this to your dad if you haven't already.
