Papa: "Always do the right thing in life no matter how hard it is. You will always come out happier and at peace with yourself."

Me: "But how will I know what's the right thing to do in all situations in life?"

Papa: "For that, pray for wisdom. Wisdom to know the difference between right and wrong and the strength to choose the right thing always."

'I pray that you all find the same wisdom that I pray for daily and I pray that all girls are blessed with a father like mine'.
