Happy Father's Day, Dad! Today we celebrate and honor you!

My dad and I share the love of lists (preferably bulleted). We love things organized and neat. And we over think everything (mostly in a good way).

So dad, I give you my list of why you are so special to me:

• You took a huge risk and giant leap of faith in 1974 and decided to come to the U.S. so your future family could have a chance at a better life.
• You are a self-made man.
• You have the strongest moral compass of anyone I know.
• You taught Manan and I to always do our best and work hard, even if many times the results are out of our hands.
• You are an artist and musician.
• You put family first, before all else.
• You taught me how to read, ride a bike and fly a kite.
• You are a planner, which means that everything is always taken care of.
• You took (and still take) care of all of us, mom, Manan, me and Subhadra ba, always.
• You love your family so much that sometimes it keeps you up at night.

And the list can go on and on. Dad, we love you so much, no list can ever contain all the reasons that make you so dear. 

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all that you do for us!

Love,

Kavita, Manan & Mom
