Here is an old post that was in my "drafts" folder for my blog. I remember this day. I'll add one little detail, every time we've played the arcade at the theater, he has always won. And this day was no exception. :-) I'm proud of you Dad.

Earlier today, as I went to see Zorro on the big screen, and in the car ride with my dad, I was asking about what work he was doing at the moment and I started thinking of all the years and long hours. There were times that he had to stay up very late and get up very early and when we couldn't help him much during those long hours. I'm sure that comes in all businesses, but I was listening to some music tonight and one of the songs recalled this afternoon with my dad, and I hope that one day I have the courage and patience of Dad to stand up and keep working even though I am weary and the work is tiring.
The lyrics are below... My translation: "I said I would avoid trouble, but sometimes trouble can't be avoided, soI'll stand up and meet it head on without flinching, and I know you understand - I remember what you've said"
"I walk away from trouble when I can.
Now please don’t think I’m weak,
I didn’t turn the other cheek,And papa,
I sure hope you understand:
Sometimes you gotta fight when you’re a man. "
