What makes your dad extra special?

My dad is special because he’ll go above and beyond for me even when I don’t deserve it. No matter how much he may hate the choices I make in life sometimes, I always have his full support and love. He taught me that no matter what obstacles come into play, you can always overcome them and shine bright in this life!

Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?

My dad deserves this spotlight because he’s the most amazing man on this earth.

Happy Father’s Day to Jose Reyes, and thank you for all you do!
