    I lost my father this year, it dosent matter if you are famous or not, a loss of a parent is never easy. You are never ready even when they are sick and you think you have time to tell them how much you love them and thank them for all the sacrifices they did to give you a better life. This is my first holiday with out my dad. I will try to get through it with a smile and feel his love.
