Dear Dad,
In high school math class when I said “I’m too dumb to figure this out,” You were there to tell me I wasn’t. In college when I was in an emotional wreck, you were there to tell me “it will pass.” (Continued...)

...In post bacc when everyone else told me “you won’t get in to medical school,” you were there to tell me “you will.”
In medical school when I felt the weight of my imposter syndrome, you were there to tell me “you belong.” (Continued...)

I am the man I am today because of your support and the example you set forth. It is apt that Father’s Day falls just a few days before I graduate from residency because this milestone belongs as much to you as it does to me. Happy Father’s Day, dad! I love you!
