A Father

He is a man like no other... He skips his meal and gives it to his hungry daughter or son. He works in shifts so that his children can get a proper education. He smiles when there's nothing to smile about, to give his family hope. He does his best to keep his family together, when there's strife amongst them. He always remembers his family when he's far away. He is a man like no other....
