What makes your dad extra special?
My dad is an amazing father because he's always been there for my sisters and me no matter what! He's shown us unconditional love and support and raised us to be the independent women we are! My dad has a heart of gold like no other, he's always there and ready to help whoever with whatever and however he can. He's truly the definition of the world's best dad. He is perfect, he is my dad and it makes me so happy and proud to be able to say that's my papa! I love you to the moon and back, Papa, forever and always!
Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?
My dad deserves the spotlight because he has gone above and beyond not only for us his daughters but so many in his community as well. My dad has been an amazing father, husband and outstanding member of his community for many decades.
Happy Father’s Day to Jose Soto, and thank you for all you do!
