To the one who taught me how to love and breathe sports, the one whom I got my athletic genes from.. Just wanted to wish you a #HappyFathersDay!!! I know things haven’t always been easy for both of us but I thank God for giving me a loving & hardworking father like you  Thank you for giving us a good life, a good education and a brighter future. We may not show it all the time, but you are appreciated always. Here’s to better years ahead for the family. Love you dad!!!! You are the real MVP!
